Default Please vote for favorite wheel finish - 427 Street Cobra

These are all photoshop renditions so nothing is perfect, but it's close enough to get an idea. Curious as to people's thoughts on preference. Keep in mind Sunbursts are NOT an option

I attempted something like that, too. Looks awesome on that Dragonsnake. Just not sure on a street car? These decisions are tough!

I like option A. I also really like seeing the FIA wheels on the Big Block cars. Good luck with your decision.

I'm partial to the raw metal look. Which I'm guessing is option C?

As cast center and satin sanded lip. Somewhat like this.

The Blacked or Mono-tone wheels remind me of Pickup truck wheels or a 16 year old with a rattle can. Just not my style.

Personally not a fan of the black wheels look. Reminds me of brake dust.

Dark paint, light wheels. Light paint, dark wheels.

You are obviously trying to replicate the look of an original. Pick one of the other three. Or find some sunbursts.

All look good to me.

Typically I'm not a fan of black wheels on cars, but option A with the polished spinners, looks awesome. If it were my car, I'd at least give that matte black a try.

For a street car, Option C for me. I like the magnesium (age) wheel look for both center and lip.

I'm not a fan of polished lips, polished spinners or the black-out look for a painted street car. Now, if we're taking about a polished alloy Cobra, then that brings a different set of circumstances.

Option A is the badass look.
Option C Is a far more classic look.

Either one for me

Appears the Blacked out wheels have become popular overseas as well.
Very trendy...

Personally do not like black or chrome wheels. Options B or C make me want to look deeper. Your wheels have to speak to you good luck with your choice.
