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.

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
