CHANGING THE LOOK OF THE WHEELS AGAIN

i was originally going to go all black with my wheels ( face and lip ) and leave the bolts chrome but the more i look at it , the more i realize that it has too much of a race car look with all black . it looks really good on a black car , but not mine . i have now decided to go with a gloss black lip and a color matched face with black bolts . i went to Asanti's wheel-builder page and i think it looks great . i will post pics when they are done . should be before the end of the week . if you guys want to play with colors on different style wheels....here you go :

C63
Asanti's are great wheels i had the 26" AF128 on my Escalade. But i personally wouldn't put Asanti's on the C63, Its more of a show wheel rather then performance. just my 0.02 cents.

Oohh sorry my mistake. Ya, i was gonna say your forgelines look amazing i wouldn't change them. I have another suggestion for your wheels. I would go with the all black look. Gloss black lip, matte black face with a white pinstripe. Because going all black would actually make your wheels appear smaller, especially with a black lip. The white pinstripe whould actually show the true size of the wheel while adding alot of style.

i use my baby for show and go so i decided to color match the face . i looked at the all black wheel for a while but i think it was too much black , even with the pinstripe .
