I have 8" Fuchs that I'm considering painting completely black, outer lip and everything. Does anyone have pics of something like that? I am also considering just having them media blasted and then clearcoated for a sort of dull aluminum look - would like to see some examples of those too.

How's this for the bare look?

Thanks for the pics guys, those are good shots. I'll have to think about this for a while! Mike, are those your wheels on the red car? Or do you know if those are just UN-polished aluminum thats been sealed? I like fully anodized but it's probably more money than I want to spend. This look may be better for a mostly street car.

anodized for about $125 per, polished & painted about $85 per

Doug,

That's not my car. That is a photo that has been around the 914 sites for a while. There is a version of this shot that shows more background. I believe it was taken at a German track. I saved it only because I like the car.

I have a set of black powder-coated 16x7's with Hoosiers that will be on my car for the first time on 9/22 (Willow). They look pretty mean sitting in the garage but I'm not sure how they will look on the car. I definitely like the (stock) black center w/ anodized rim appearance of my other set.
