    Pretty tough choice. I'd say number one or number 4 Ken. I'd be interested in your black chromed stock wheels. I'll shoot ya a PM.

    Can they match your green?

    or do you feel it will be close enough?

    Or did they send you a sample?

    or did you actually see it? lol

    I like that look Ken. What about also painting the recessed groove on each of the 5 spokes in green as well. I love a good looking directional wheel and you found a good looking one. They will look good with your directional brembo rotors as well.

    Thanks Mark...I plan on having the recesses painted as well.

    Do you think I should have my new Brembo rotors powder coated, Brembo Red, and paint the rim windows to match?

    i think red would be overkill, would go with black though. black would make the wheels pop more and especially stand out with the red calipers.

    I just got off the phone with you. As always it is great talking with you.

    I would leave the calipers red, powdercoat the rotors red.

    Adding a third color to the wheels will be too much. Stick with black and green, the red will shine through with the rotors and calipers. I would either leave the windows on the wheel alone or paint them in Black.

    Thanks for everyones response.

    Today I finalized my rim order with Forgiato Designs. I should receive them within the next two weeks, just in time for SEMA.

    I decided to go with the CURVA 22" rims. They will look something like this but with Green in the recesses on the curved spokes, and the triangle at the end of the spoke as well as the bolts, and pin stripe as shown.

    Thanks Steve.

    Now it's time to find some tires. I think I'll go with 265 35ZR22s for the front, and 295 30ZR22s for the rear.
