Opinions needed please...

So i have a set of work gnosis cv201's. I have beat them to **** and its time to get them fixed up. In doing so im comptiplating making the entire wheel polished. The barrel is polished but the spokes a matte silver.

Either way though im considering changing out the lugs for black work ones and the center cap for a darker center cap, even black.

Just want some opinions on how that would look against my LP sedan.

My calipers are powder coated black by the way.

the pic of the back end looks a bit funky because its *** is on a slope.

Pics attached. Let me know what you guys think. Appreciate any feedback!

Holy **** I love that black work center cap. With the wheels polished, the black center caps and the black lugs you'll be pimpin no doubt. It would be unique as well. Win win my friend

If you change your mind I might be a buyer for the lugs and especially the center caps.

lol thanks Red. Unfortunately i don't think they make that cap for the gnosis wheels. I'm calling tomorrow to find out though.. they have a few really nice ones on the site but their not universal and a lot of them only work on certain models. bummer really.

find out more tomorrow though. hope im not limited to the three gnosis caps they have.


id prefer to make it all "work"

thanks for the input

Well where can I buy the black work caps? I got my tracking numbers for my work vsxx wheels and new Hancook V12 V2 tires today! They come with an extra set of silver work center caps. But if the face is burning black like its supposed to be ill be much happier with those black work caps.

It obviously looks great now. Putting on the black cap and wheel lugs would bring more attention and detail to the wheels up close and the black would blend in well with the tires, calipers, and tint. So it's not like they would clash and stick out like a sore thumb. But, the black cap might be too much. Might not. If you don't like it and think the cap stands out a little too much, try just the black lugs with the polished/matte cap and see how that looks. Love the LP color BTW...

If you don't like it you can always just slap the ones you have on now back on right? I say "go for it...."

Thanks for the nice comments and replies so far guys. Helps

they have the same gnosis cap i have now but in just a darker shade. was looking at that to. would be much more subtle then the straight black one. but i find it boring a bit. although maybe its just right.... hrmmmm...also a polished cap. pictures attached.

ColumbiaSkinny's comments are right on Mezzo. There's absolutely nothing about going with the black lugs and the black center cap. Your calipers are black so it's all in your color scheme bro.

I agree that the other center caps you posted ^ are possibly a bit boring. Especially after you nailed it with that sick black work cap lol!
If you buy those and for some reason don't like them I'll buy them off you for half price

Sometimes it's tough having a LP G.

We don't get that pop from silver or polished wheels like white or black colors.

I think your wheels look good silver with polished lip. And the black lugs will look real good too.


Sorry about the cap situation.

Like the black lug nuts, breaks up that silver in just the right way, nice addition IMO.
