Id put more blue decals and banner to get more balance. Not sure about using your centercap line as your banner, but it would make it more consistent.

Ok guys I appreciate all ur comments & decided Im gonna powder coat these rims black. Im definitely not gonna give up on the blue rims coz I believe black goes with anything & the blue stands out from a crowd. But here are the rims Im choosing from.

As a matter of fact how about u guys decide Option #1 or #2 & why

Option #1



Option #2

Actually I like what you did with the GE's stock 16" wheels.

Volk-style dark blue (Winning Blue or Magnesium Blue) is slowly getting common here already and it's getting boring. Your slightly lighter color is a stand-out and a fun break from the Volk-style dark blue that's usually just for hiding the wheel. If anything you could go a little lighter on the wheel color.

Instead of blue, I would have done gun metal on the wheels. And it's a NO for the center caps. There will be no fine tail flocking to it with those on. lol
