I bought this car with these 8 spoke empi wheels . They had a bad black paint job over red that did not cover well. I just stripped off the 2 w layers of paint. I was planning on repainting them black but the polished looks pretty good. Now I can't decide so I would like some input.
Which looks better to you guys? Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(michael7810 @ Oct 9 2011, 02:43 PM)  Mine are gold that goes well with Irish Green. That gold goes great with the green! I would have liked to do the copper metallic but I would have to buy $$$ paint. So I went back to the black for now, I really like the one lack with polished edge, and the copper/black color scheme If I had Fuchs I would lea e them polished. If I ever find the right red 914, then the black & garnet USC would be fun. Attached thumbnail(s)
