Help me decide on the finish

Update : Wheel pics posted, page 2.


What's your flavor?

Im leaning more towards the blue finish...I know its a bit too much for some and a hard decision! But i am willing to pull the trigger on one of those finishes. All my previous cars had either black or gunmetal wheels, so its time to go for something different because its not my daily driver.

I'm partial to blue in general. Also, it will match the stitching. Good luck keeping those wheels clean though.

I like them both, so do blue on one side and gold on the other because i can't make up my mind. leaning towards blue though, but that gold in person would look pretty sick... yep I'm no help.

Why not both? Blue on the front & gold on the insides?

1221 Wheels, a new US company with ex HRE and ADV1 peeps handling it. They use a new forged aluminum material which is as light but 40% stronger than your on going forged aluminum wheels. This material is exclusive to them as of now and will be used next year by the other brands too.
