do something extreme, chrome out your whole car, get a chromed paint job.














jk, but i wouldnt mind seeing how one would look if someone wants to photoshop it for the lulz.

Id go flat black on the wheels as well..

You could always do Flat black vinyl...

I saw a Porsche GT3 yesterday in flat black and I loved the way it looked, so I would say do it!!! If insurance is paying, you have nothing to loose.

mmm....Streifens. THE wheels I want!
flat black? why not? the chrome trim might stand out a bit too much though...maybe black chrome the trims also (I think that'd be seeexy)?

I disagree. If you flat black the car, then the polished wheels will really set it off more. I think it would be overkill to have dark or flat black wheels with the flat black paintjob. At that point it would have that stupid "murdered out" look.
