Thinking about a change. My Photoshop skills suck, but you get the basic idea. Top pic is how the wheels look currently. Your input is appreciated. Thanks.

First or third pic. I'd stay with first. The less reason you give someone to steal from you the better. plus I think it is cleaner. The third is tuff also but I would stay with 1. Sleeper baby! Thats how you line up unfair races!

The all-grey looks subtle but exotic, out-of-the-ordinary. I'd go that
way.

Either all gray or gray with red pin stripe. Since its not an option, I did not say black, but I like black better.

Satin black with polished lip, all anodized black, all anodized black with red pinstripe or just leave it!

I personally like the silver though Scott, its a classy touch and very clean!

Actually...Leave it! Colored center makes the wheels appear smaller as if you're rolling on 15's.
