What do you think about the new look?
We get a wild hair growing where the sun don't shine from time to time, and I got around to doing this after experimenting with photoshop. Tell me what you think.
  They are still the same wheels just painted black.

No contest to opinion, as we are all entitled one.

The thing is, to me, they look like donuts wheels. You can't really tell what they are because they are so dark on a very bright surrounding, but maybe the pics don't do it justice. More gloss would be ftw.
Looking at your wheel wells... you don't have the rubber stripping around the edge.  Maybe get some of that?

Ugh
Sort of reminds me of a car running on the black stamped steel spares or the base model cars that used to come with the black stamped steel wheels.
SVX deserves better than that. Just my opinion since you asked.  Lee

Two thoughts:
1. Black out the center cap 2. Try gunmetal instead of black on the spokes/outer rim -Bill

Very nice chop! I just don't like black wheels. If it were me I'd try silver or for that wild hair mabey bronze.

I think gray or chrome would be much better. Too much black.

I think what he said was that he already painted them black after screwing with them in photoshop. Personally, I dont think they look bad. The center caps arent quite my thing but the wheels are neat.
