Opinions On New Wheels Because I'm Already Bored My Wheels

I'm looking into getting some 3pc wheels again in black. I found some 19" HRE 547R in black and some Iforged Senekas in black and I'm planning on having some custom made red center caps with the Iforged emblem or the the HRE caps that already have the red and blue but I'll be coloring the blue parts red so I can keep the red and black theme going with my custom red emblems.

Here's a couple pics I tried messing around with from past wheels I've had in the past. I thought I was sick of the black wheel look but I guess I was wrong. I may or may not do it...I'm not sure yet but I'm already bored with the wheels I have. My editing skills suck so please no comments on it

Ahhh back to black....very nice. I definitely like the work wheels the best, especially that huge lip. These cars are just so hot black on black.

hmm, I guess I am the only one who thinks your current set of wheels are better looking than any of the black ones, but tbh, I am not that into the black wheel look to begin with, so I guess I am probably a bit too biased on this.
Still... 1 count for keeping your wheels

I have to say I agree with Wobert. I think the current set of wheels look the best. So that's actually 2 for keeping the current wheels.

I made a decision today and I'm going with the Iforged 3pc Seneka's in Black with chrome lips to avoid the polishing of bare aluminum lips like I have had in the past.

I'm going for the stretched tire look and aggressive offsets with spacers...it should look good. Look out for pics sometime next week.

Looking forward to checking out the new wheels...

Thanks again for the Brabus spacers... rain is holding back progress but they'll be on within a week or 2...

I have them made by a shop here in Glendale called Rego Sport Tunning. But the custom caps will painted by me. The wheels are coming with regular Iforged centercaps but on Friday I ordered the engraved chrome ones that will end up looking like the photoshop above that I attached that ZorroAMG made for me.

If you're bored, get rid of that chrome window trim that's breaking up the lines.
