Looks nice, but I think I gotta say the gold looked better, or maybe it's the black lips. They completely take away any depth there was.

It looks good. I don't know about the black lip though, kind of make the wheels look smaller. Might just be the pics though.

Looks good bro. Ever think about blacking out the windows? Gives the spoke design much more of a sharp pop, especially from side angles where the white windows blend with the face, hiding design.

Overall though, I like

i thought about the black windows originally but when i did it on the wheel designer on asanti's site , it looked strange and without seeing it in person , i didn't want to take a chance of screwing it up .

Maybe some colored calipers now to add contrast to the black/white.

Yeah, that's always the hard risk with trailblazing modders. No frame of reference to gauge decisions. Alot of time it's just faith in your vision. Some hit, but some miss. And with high ticket items, it's even harder to pull that trigger.

For reference, here's what it looks like in real life on my 7 project car.

Looks pretty good. Now all you need to do is paint the hood. Also, you could definitely fit some beefier tires on the back and possibly add spacers front and rear. Just some suggestions.

Not sure about the white centers... maybe gunmetal or matte black would look sick. Still gotta give you props for being unique!!

I think a thin white pin strip would set it off.

Although the OP obviously has his own tastes, I gotta +1 this too.
