what kind of wheels are those?!

I like the Brushed Titanium personally, but my car get's more attention for some reason with the Brushed Espresso, I guess they stand out more because the dark color contrasts more on the white

I like the titanium finish better also. although either way thoes rims just look good. Even better if you went carbon fiber finish.

The Ti finish looks incredible in person but that Brushed espresso is just soo different idk. Good luck with a tough decision.

Thanks for all of your posts,

I like the espresso for the unique factor and it makes all the chrome elements on it "Pop".

The titanium i like because it has a "Machined" look similar to the rotors.

Here's a shot of the titanium

Tough decision, but I think you should get the face painted white. I'm a big fan of white cars with white faced rims.
