A black car with those wheels in black with a polished lip would be perfect.

Go with it. There was a whole artisitic movement centered around absurdity.

I don't know but they share elements of the Konig Unknowns like mine.


Kalbone - That's a beautiful setup you have there! Very nice work.

In my opinion they need a polished lip because an all black car with all black wheels, when it's moving, looks like it is just sporting steel wheels. With the polished lip, it brings more attention to the wheels. It makes sure that people notice you have customized.

With regards to the black car and black roof, I completely agree.

I can kinda see what you mean, just an all black wheel looks to plain. That's why I put graphics on mine and covered them with clear vinyl. But I still don't like the polished lip, it's to much of a contrast and it makes the wheel look smaller.

You guys are fabulous. You should start up a Queer Eye for the Straight Mini reality show.
