No pics but opinions. I'm a chrome man but the black faced wheels do look cool with chrome or high polished lips. For me, I would only do it with a black car. I'd do color match for whatever color the car is. A guy I know has a white E500 with white faced Maya rims with chrome lip. My mouth just sits there catching flies...it's soooo hot. So yeah, I like the black faced wheels...on a black car.

Default RE: Black wheels

I have the new Lowenhardt LSR's in Black. 20x10 and 20x9's. Have been trying to post pics, but the file is too big. Will get them on here in the next day or 2. Had LD5's, BR5's, and Lsportline Model 1 EVO's previously. But definetly like the LSR's the best so far.

Thumbs up

That's a nice sporty look but I'm biased because I love the Black Onyx GS. =)
With the rotors/calipers completely exposed is there a BBK or some brake mods (e.g. painted calipers) in the near future?

Default RE

I had the Lsportline Brake kit on my car with the Lowenhardt BR5's. Then I bought the Lowenhardt LD5's about 8 months ago, and the brake kit wouldn't fit with them, so about 2 weeks before my LSR's came in I sold the kit to my friend thinking that they wouldn't fit again. So, I guess I am going to go with the Stoptech kit this time, all away around.
