Final word before i buy these?

I am about to purchase a set of DPE S-7 signature series 3-piece wheels (first pic). I think i am going to go with the brushed face with polished lip, just like in the pic.

Before i take the plunge, what do you guys think about the ST10 (second pic, black wheel)?

Last question: Should i play it safe and stick with the all silver look or go with a flat black face wheel?

I attached a pic of my car for reference

4080,

What look are you going for? Clean/classy or aggressive/racy? I had black wheels on my basalt black turbo and didn't really like it. I prefer the brushed/chrome look.

I do agree with Boca though, black on silver is a good combo

As you can see, i have had the black wheels for a while now. I just want to change up. I think clean/classy is the next route.

thanx

In that case, I think S7 brushed/chrome would look great. Here's my DPE setup on my sport

So far looks like a 50/50 split...but I like the contrast...consequently, I'm not fond of the dark centers unless you're going for the aggressive Darth Vader look.

I think the dark centers look good with a very very aggressive wheel. I do not think these wheels are aggressive enough to pull off that look.

What size wheels are you going with?

If they are to small they are going to look dull on your car.

I like the black centers... also look less dirty after driving. Gotta clean the brake dust off my wheels every week. a minor pain.

Link, once I get the car washed and some pics taken, I'll make a new thread. If you need more pics of the rear, let me know. I can take some in the mean time.
