Vossen vf051 color poll

I now have my. Vossen vf051 20x9 20x11 on my 2012 moonlight g37s. Thinking about a couple ideas.



So a couple ideas/options on color.


1. Leave chrome. Never been into chrome too much and I blacked out all other things chrome on entire car, lettering, grill, emblems, etc.
However, it does still look pretty nice the way it is right now. These babies shine!
See above pics

2. Go color match face like in vossen picture above. That's with inner edge where rivets are black and rivets white I think, hard to tell from pic if they chrome or white. Lip chrome in pic, but could go black too for different look.
See above pic

3. Do gloss black face and white/color match lip. Variation here is whether to have inner lip where rivets are be black w the face or white w the lip and then the corresponding black or white rivets. See below, not same rimes but colors.


Choice 2 caliper color (a lot depends on color choice of rim)
1. Stock
2. Black w white letteringZ
3. White w black letteringc
4. Red
5. Blue. contrast To black/white theme might look good have an accent color
6. Yellow

FWIW I like the look of the white inner/black outer, but leaving the chrome barrel and painting the spokes white might be an option since you still have some chrome in the headlights (at least from the small pic it looks like you still have chrome shroud) and having just the barrels chrome isn't too much, and when they shine they show well.

If you went that route then black lug nuts and black calipers (w/ white decals) would go well IMO.

I'm a fan of the white color match lip. I've thought about doing that with my Vossens. The only thing that's stopping me is I sorta feel like it's disrespecting my Vossen's to change their color. Is that stupid? Maybe.

The rude you used for an example has been the inspiration for many of my future mods and color schemes. Do you guys think the white lip with the polished aluminum face would look just as good or is the black face a requirement? I love the idea of the white lip, black face, and chrome rivets.

I don't think you can go wrong with your caliper color selection. Although I'm not a fan of the color match white cals. Anything else is gravy as long as you throw in an accent piece that has some of that same color.

Imo the white lip is so 2005. A more plain gunmetal dark graphite is much cleaner

Yeah I thought about maybe black face, and white inner area where rivets are. Prolly leave rivets chrome, unless looks bad then do black, and see how looks with chrome lip.

So many variations possible because of the different parts/areas.

+1 on the gunmetal color.

I think gunmetal goes great with white imo.
