My high gloss black rims on protonic blue

I'm going to do the tint next, along with suntek wrap on the hood, doors & modesta treatment on the car.

But here's sandblasted rims, powdercoated high gloss black...

what do you think?

Great job on the wheels, looks different.
Here is a different take on wheels, I did not want the wheels to be as dark as on your i8.

A bit too dark for my taste on that blue, but happy that you're happy!

ChiTownM - those wheels look pretty good. Can we get another shot from a different angle?

I don't want to hijack the OPs thread, here is a different angle....custom made forged wheels for the i8. Feel free to pm if you would like more information.

It was snowing today, a recent shot attached. Sick of winter by now, not even 500 miles on this car yet!
