depends, if you keep the SG. black grills will be pretty much like my set up now.

if you wrap later, just wait and ask the wrap guy to wrap for you free, save a thousand bucks.

I like your plan. frozen white with your rim's color scheme. then you must have black window trims and grills. even black side gills like me or white. don't leave too much chrome.

Wasn't Jorge. He didn't make the wheels. Has to be Forged1 didn't take into account of the effect of the paint thickness due to refinishing

That's what I meant be Forged1 didn't think thru before refinishing the wheels.

Same errors as when Brown University architecture designed a library without taking account in the weight of books, and designing a plane without consideration of the weight of the paint.... etc. Just complete lack of foresight.

You haven't heard? That was some 20-30 years ago. Funniest thing was that the design won an architectural award. Obviously, that award was taken away when the library started sinking.
