Thank's to all who contributed, but I think I'll keep what I have for now and enjoy the ride a little while longer!

Darrell, you and I are often on the same wave length, lol. I've been "considering" new wheels, and ever since Adrian ended up with these, they've been at the top of my list. It's funny how hard it is to be original anymore and not be "played out". When I first saw the Trafficstars on G-Answer's site I decided those were going to be the next set of wheels that I buy, but now we have several GS's here with them. I guess it just boils down to going with what you like. I have always been a huge fan of your current set up, LOL, you would never know that looking at my car

I like what you have now Darrell, but I would maybe change it up a bit. Not sure if your wheels are chrome or what, instead of powder coating I would look into maybe having a clear coat put on the wheels that is tinted and makes the wheels look darker. I am going to be doing this to my wheels soon and like the black chrome look. I think that would really set your car off

I've always liked that look of the black Chrome on the silver because it gives the exterior of the car that wow effect IMO.. I've always liked the Maya look but it maybe time for a change... Change for the good or change for the bad you won't know until you try right? I really think that titanium finish on the silver will put your car above the rest IMO.. Although there is a reason why you Won best Luxury at the HIN right.. SO maybe you should keep what you have.. Its been a few years with hte Maya's and if you go another route you can always put them back on and say to yourself "Hey i tried it"

Rich, this is what Adrian and I were discussing this past weekend and what I was trying to create with the first idea! The Maya's are chrome faced/anodized lips. It's a future idea for now?

I like your current setup right now. I like the mesh look, but i still like how the classic 5-star Maya DTS' compliment the colour and stance of your car now.

Hey D. I know we talked at length Saturday about the finish and how it would look on your car but man you move quick buddy already have photoshops done and are polling the guys here...LOL I love the Mayas but change is always good and the blk chrome finishes are really hot right now and I don't see it going away anyyime soon.

Another thing try to get a picture of your car in this angle and have it with my wheels it will really help more in your decision cuz in this angle you can really see the Blk Titanium Chrome finish in its full effect..

Adrian, after seeing these photoshops and looking at your wheel, I really like the Zone wheel rather than adding the color to the Maya! Maybe you are the new clone now! I'm waiting to see it at the diffrent angle! You have started something and I have an itch!
