I snapped a pic of RMMGS4's ride with Jawnthen's wheels next to mine...

No offense to Jawnthen, but I like the gunmetal better, for some reason it seems to have a better balance of contrast, don't know why.

From the picture I agree. But it's partially the angle and positioning of Jawnthen's car. Up close the black looks sharp -- especially with the other Darth Vader touches he has added.

none taken that's not my car in the pic...if Its only the black rims on the silver car I like Synergy's combo as well but I'm in the process of putting on other thing on the car to balance out the black.

OK Time for me to chime back in.

Let's make things perfectly clear.

I was the one who spent two weeks looking for the perfect shade of Gray to compliment Synergy's wheel.

I was the one that made the suggestion for Jawnthen to go black with black roof.

I get all the credit !


I own U GUYS


In the End, both styles worked out well, so I'm gonna take the best from both and incorporate them, when I get my rims done next week !

Muahhahahahaha (Said in a deep throaty voice)




Better Shot of Jawnthen's rims.

The rims were still hot when this shot was taken. Just came out of the oven an hour earlier.

One SICK Dronell !

Chrome bolts on each spoke( near the rim lip) replaced the dull originals. With the Chrome lug nuts in place and the polished lip, the wheel shouts out a bling from "The Dark Side". All I can say is pictures don't do these rims justice.

this is very cool to see a style move around the country like this. Reason being, when I bought my Dronells a couple years back the guy from Wheelmax that I spoke with offered to to paint my CA-05's to color match my black car and give it the "Miami look" . I am very seriously considering wheels that will match my Platinum edition emblems as long as they have a nice polished lip.

Great work guys!!!......total sickness with the rides here on CL as usual.

So what do you guys think?? Platinum Silver car with gunmetal rollers??? It might just happen very soon for me.
