I didn't reed through all 9 pages of this post, so I am not sure what your final decision is (or if you even made one), and while I typically would go for black on red, based on these back-to-back, I am definitely digging the chrome.
This is about as close as I can get to a back-to-back pic.
Looks great to me, can’t stand the black wheels myself. They make a car look cheap. Back in my day if you couldn’t afford nice wheels you painted the stock steel wheels black. Wheels should be admired not blend into the tires like you are trying to hide them.Alright everyone - my grand idea and vision in my head may not have necessarily played out. They're here, ceramic coated, and gorgeous... Though it's such a drastic departure from what aggressiveness and anger the car had previously - now it's just more calm, classy, and we'll - I kinda feel underwhelmed.
They're the factory Ford 10.5/11 HP wheels, sent to California for some chrome, with that PS4S's (which are amazing by the way over the PSC2's).
They're fantastic, beautiful, bright, perfect condition, just... I'm not sure this is what I was looking for. Though here they are.
Please let me know what you think. I may be switching back sooner than I had anticipated. Maybe they'll grow on me. Maybe they won't. I have a set of the Platinum finished ones too sitting in boxes. Shit at this point maybe black would have been the ticket?
Maybe the factory color is the way to go. Never know unless we try, right?

Which brand is it?Likewise, I didn't have time to read the whole thing but since opinions were requested, here's mine:
I've always LOVED Black Chrome. Can those babies be tinted or re-chromed? I think darkening them would be the PERFECT combo. It would mute the current "bling" and add darkness to go with the trim of the car.
Just remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I think in this size view photo they look absolutely fantastic. I hear what you are saying and I have not responded for a few days because I wanted to keep seeing them. I think you will enjoy them after a little time. They bring out the details of the wheels and make the red pop even more. Black will hide the details, I think. I hope they grow on you, but I really think they bring some class to the car and really look great.Alright everyone - my grand idea and vision in my head may not have necessarily played out.

…and dressed them up with trim rings (back in the day)…
I honestly wasn't showing an S550 specific wheel, I just typed "Black Chrome" in Google and selected images. It was one of many that popped up. It was just to represent my idea of what would look good on your car.
, I'll equate that to the Bullitt wheels which are sweet looking to me.
Wanna sell the factory wheels ?Alright everyone - my grand idea and vision in my head may not have necessarily played out. They're here, ceramic coated, and gorgeous...

I have a set of the HP wheels also in a polished version from a wheel replica site (can't recall which) that are sitting in boxes...along with these chrome ones. I think I am gonna stick with the factory wheels for a while.
I most likely could, though I've not tried as of yet for unknown reasons - I guess I'm still on the fence, though I am currently riding on the factory wheels.
I went back to them, so not at this time. The Chrome could be available if you were interested.
So you are who bought up all the Replicas!! LMAO!
