love the wheel. it was what i was going to get before i found enkeis that weigh less for ~100 bucks a wheel.

i think the gloss black with machined lip. is your best bet.

black with chrome lip looks better than flat black.
but i would say i think the hyper black is the best color...

man, i really like those! they look fairly light, strong, & just plain hawt...

what color would best suit a titanium 8??

PS- benny, there is no way i'll get the wheels, wouldn't wanna rain on your parade- not to mention my 'financial situation'- just curious... i have to entertain my desires & dreams! i know you'll understand.

I am loving my Bronze Zigens... They go great on the Ti Gray.

Was considering Black with Polish Lips, but felt that it would make the rim look small...

I agree with BigO, hyper black would match your setup nicely

IMO, giveashit what they look like... at that price and weight they can be butt-ugly if you want them for track tires.

Even so, I think those ones you have look pretty good with that color.

I'll eventually get dedicated track tires/wheels. Low weight and low cost hopefully.

Glossy black, with the lip would look nice on your setup.
