Mulling over rim choices

[Frozen Taurus]

Trying out some different rims on my car trying to narrow down to one or two.

Had to use a 2014 SHO for one or two of these rims cause they didn't have my 2011 version on file

The bottm TSW looks nice (last pic) and is likely the most cost effective choice.... with the more open designs remember that the rotors and calipers will be bright and not dark/black as in the configurator pics. The other wheels are fine, but personally with the bright rotors they should be polished bright and on a white car.

Sorry, I just can't get used to the all black wheel look.  Have you considered machined rims, hyper silver or chrome?   I think chrome looks really good on black.

[BiGMaC]

They do look nice Dave... but the rotors and calipers are black in these pics too... so the ride would look different.

[Frozen Taurus]

Please do not suggest silver or hyper silver or any variation of silver rims for my car....I am clearly headed down a certain path with what my ride will look like and it does not include silver rims 

[DJE624]

Got ya.

I will be de chroming the car too along with going with black rims ....I hate chrome with a passion

You should contact Darkside if your going to do the spear and the bright-work around the windows.  He painted the spear in-place and ended up just buying the window "chrome" new,painting then putting on the car to replace OEM.  The window trim is attached with 3M double sided tape and very thin.  he related that it took no time at all to bend it when trying to remove it.  Just an FYI if you're looking for something like this.

Will do thanks for the advice ... that is definitely on my list of things to do this spring and summer

I see one of your choices is the Giovanna Killis .

This is what is on MY SHO

I really like some of the wheel options you brought up.  I figured I'd show you some you may not have seen yet, so you have more options.  I would consider a deep dark graphite only because all the "murdered" wheel packages I sold for people over the years, it just seemed slightly overkill to keep going black on black on black.  But take the wheels to a deep anthricite, or coal, or some other close proximity to black, and man it looked amazing.  Here's some ideas based on that, plus some different brands to think about.

This is the Velgen 20x9, could be a front and rear, no suitable staggered fit is available for our cars.

Velgen also makes a nice 8 spoke,

Looks like this:


This is a stack of Niche wheels and pricing, goes with some you've picked out plus the multi-piece offerings, plus some color options you might like

Remember also Niche is good at doing the black with dark tint clearcoats, which look amazing but not quite pure black.



Are you open to forged one piece, or is the budget below that threshold?

[Lanson]

Oh yeah, don't forget the Foose offerings



and



and




All pretty great, with a machined/black unique look to them, and pretty light.

Some nice choices there for sure and I am open to anthracite and gun metal finish for sure. Budget is an issue mostly because this is not my primary toy to mod.
