My preference for the 15-inch Halibrand wheels (or ripoffs), is matt or flat black centers & lugs combined with bare / polished rims & knock-offs. Just like the picture of tkb289's blue snake. That's a finished looking 1960's sports car in full trim. Black also hides brake dust well, so when your on the road doing the evening spit-shine in the parking lot, you just wipe the rims and they look clean again.

Although, I'm planning to pick up a set of 17-inch Halibrand ripoff's from FFR for the track for better cornering, and they are not blacked out; so I plan to put them on as is to see how I like them. Then I can contrast them to my current Halibrands. I figure I can always powder coat, and it's nice to have options.
