Question GS Black or Solid Black wheels?? Photoshopped pics inside...your opinions!

Hey all!

I'm fixing to go with getting my wheels powdercoated, but I cant decide which way I want them.

This first PIC is of solid black SS wheels.
I made the fronts 5 shades lighter than the rears, which the jet black seemed TOO dark (i kinda want the wheels to match the color of the tires somewhat..so it wont be such a contrast in shades)

The second PIC is GS Black SS wheels...and I did the same thing with them, made the rear jet-black and the fronts about 5 shades lighter.

I'm leaning towards the GS style with the lighter shade...but I'm still torn...

Looking for some opinions, or if any of you have wheels like this already on your car, I would love to see YOUR pics.

Thanks,

Do the grand sport look,although I think the gs wheels only leave the outer lip polished.I want to do that to my wheels,just as you have it in the 2nd pic.Just powdercoat the star section,leaving the inside and outer lips polished!I think it would look good on my whiteZ

Go with the GS look. I think that looks sweet on your car. I have been thinking of doing that for a while. I just dont have the cash right now. Good luck.

Talking

Thanks for the input guys...I'm really leaning towards the GS look.

When I get them done, I'll post up some pics of how they turn out.

I'm getting a hell of a deal...$100 for all four (either GS style, or solid) and clearcoat is another $100..me and a guy are getting a group deal, so its really making it affordable.
