Considering next mod........ wheels :)

Hello All,

I need some feedback, I have been looking for a new set of rims for some time now. I have narrowed it down to Kenisis which are true custom three piece assembly they are WAY expensive($$$) and Gianelle which look like a three piece but really are a single cast and are much more reasonable($).

I finally got to see Gianelle wheels this week and I would like to get some feed back. They come in a two tone black and polished and you can get a colored ring (for lack of better terms) in just about any color you want. I'm think'n I like just black but the salesmen put a red ring on one so I could get a feel for what they look like. They don't come in a solid black which is my first choice, but I could get them powder coated all black for a little more?!

What do you all think............
  1. Two tone with no colored ring or a black ring
  2. Two tone with a red ring
  3. Powder coated all black
  4. Powder coated all black with red ring
Thanks,

BF

what size are they?

I would put clear head lights in , running boards, tint your rear windows a little darker (looks like you have 20% on front and factory which is lighter in the rear)

the wheels look good

oh ya, and take off the pin stripes.

personal opinion only

leave the wheels black no red stripe

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Liking the black lip, no red... and could go either way with the machined spokes over black.

Good looking wheels though!
