Default Black or not

Once you go black you can never go back! Painted the rims, any comments?

Hi `Jerry,
I like the GTO, but if it were mine it would be solid black/dark tinted windows, lowered, bigger rims/tires + a nitros button
Isn't it great that we all don't like the same thing..
It sure would be a boring world `if everyone drove the same type
of ride & the same color, etc., etc WoW

Black rims work.

I almost wonder if a red pinstripe would look good on them to match the stripe on the body....

No offense intended, but imo your car now looks like every other 'blacked out' or 'stealth' car and truck on the road. If you were trying to blend in to the crowd you succeeded...

Yes `Mike, I respect your opinion, but do
the other blacked `out rides have
the POWER to back `up the
Stealth Look ?

I was going to say the same thing, just a little looks great going down the road. Looking forward to seeing the update after tinting the windows.

I would imagine that some do and some don't. You just see so many cars and trucks in 'stealth' trim on the road that it has become commonplace and (imo) a bit boring. Most don't even warrant ( or get) a second glance.

Hi `Mike & thanks for your reply/thoughts...

I need to get out more on the highways...I haven't seen many in my area when I do get out...Taz won't give me the time `off from the MCF
Like the history of the automobile > the west coast always seems to be first on customizing their rides > Maybe it's just beginning to travel east & I'll see more Stealth look'in rides on the roads...

WoW, we's kick'in `Jerry Thread & brought it back to life
