Default Wheels are getting close :)

Should be done by the weekend.

Going black (same color as window trim) with a brushed lip to break up the wheel/tire look. Staying with black and chrome factory center cap.

I'm about to do the same thing (same wheels), but using Anthricite Grey with a gloss. I feel like the grey will go better with my midnight black car.

Originally I wanted to go with body color or a close gun metal but I did not want a mid-90s Pontiac look with body color wheels.

I agree with you, black on a black car is too much (in my opinion).

Glad someone recognizes that all black is a little too much most of the time and some contrast is nice.

Gotta say, I'm really really pleased. Now, let's just see how long this lasts...

The caliper paint and decals are in, but it is too bloody cold. Most likely I won't have my setup done and on the car until late March

All done, might get a black w/chrome ringed grill. But that will be as far as I am going to go.

So far what is done:
Window tint
Window trim blacked out
Draco wheels painted black w/brushed lip
Custom exhaust
Jaguar logo projectors under doors
Jaguar logo projectors in foot well
Mina Gallery shifter Growler insert
Painted red calipers w/jaguar decals
Custom chrome air intake pipes
Custom license plate

The calipers came out really well. They look very strikingly red against the black wheels. I did the same to mine but with silver wheels
