my problem with all black and no lip is that there is no line to break the wheel from the tire...this in turn makes the wheel look smaller...

I love that wheel setup!!!

The 'below the radar' look is very understated. Keep it as is, this look is very uncommon and sets your TT apart.

Kind of like a Yin/Yang look, Yin - Look at me Red, Yang - Don't look at me black.

Perhaps that's why Shank hasn't replied yet ... he's too busy removing the wheels and hiding them in a locker ... or shipping them to have the lip polished

LOL, boy talk about an even split. I am not offended at all at any of the comments. I too am split 50/50 with the look. The car is getting Crook rear wing and either a crook or sportec front lip , and sportec brake ducts. The wheels are on PS2 tires.

The car is about to go for a minimum 630RWHP to 720RWHP conversion, and I wanted to get an intimidating look with a red car. I really dont care to bling around, for I have the SL600 for that.

When I was in Miami last week, I saw a black NSX with red lip, and black wheels....looked pretty sick. You guys are right about the wheel getting lost with the tire. Still confused. Last night Lou came over and said The wheels look awesome, yet 2 hours ago at the car wash he said he didn't like em.

If it doesn't grow on me in the next couple of days, then I will either replace it or do something with the lip or inside part or something else.

Britt, a polished lip techart / black centered photoshopping would help.

I may wind up going with BBS 18" light weight wheels, so if anyone knows where to get 18 x 12" bbs wheels, please let me know.

THanks again for your honest opinions....glad to have a board with contributing members.
