No problem. :)

I like the non powdered center idea personally, but do what you feel will make you happiest.

I like the first pic that mox3d has done, it looks different and better than getting the whole center blacked out.

I think i need more opinions personally been looking at before and after pics to me it kinda takes away the euro

look and makes it a bit boy racer.....my brother is suggesting he's gonna paint them at work with a waterbased

paint that will give a better idea of how its gonna look and if we dont like it it'l simply wash off.... :? dunno if i trust

him coz he really like's them black

I think black but leave the centre caps as they are mate,

Looks loads more euro with the black and white theme, matches your roof perfectly.

a way to find out weather you want them black or not!! ok follow my instuctions. get a coin.... say if it lands on heads there gonna be black..... if it lands on tails i'll keep them how they are .... toss the coin... if it lands the one you dont want you'll know trust me!!

Black mate. Straight wheels are quiet boring. I dont think i've ever owned a car without coding the spokes and polishing the lips. Very nice car by the way. I said i'd never buy another E30 cab again, but everytime i see a nice car like this, it makes my fingers itch winkeye

Think the black with the centre caps still silver looks spot on. Gives it a nice look in my opinion, maybe ghetto rude-boi but suits your car.
