Nice! loving the gloss black finish on the wheels. All you need is tint to really finish it up.

I can dig it. I was considering a similar theme on a refinish project I have going on. Only my wheels are a one piece 5 spoke. Shoot the entire wheel with gloss black and have only the spokes brushed or machined. Then clear. My gs is silver though and I remember thinking that look would probably look better on black. Its a good look though, less is more type of deal. And before tint, id paint those side markers body color, if not that maybe the smoked ones to tone them down abit. Tie it all in together...just throwing out ideas. Fresh look though!

Not sure about the black lips as i think it makes the wheels look smaller , But if you like it then fair enough.

I like the black lips, reminds me of Scarface/CubanGS... they just need bigger lips since you have so much extra space in the fender wells.
