white car on dark wheels is choice, but to dark and it looks rangi

but hows this
theres an evo something or rather ( think 6 ) in hamilton with 5 spoke wheels ( one peacie ) the wheels have had there centres painted black with polished lips

looks rather good...........to a point
I agree with flawless, Bronz or gold would look mint 8-)
