I vote Royal Silver.
Raw or royal silver
I really do like the hyper black... but does it go well with the retro/vintage vibe?Originally Posted by Martin

the royal silver is starting to grow on me.... maybe I can even get them polished by a shop or something then throw some clear coat over it? hmmm....
RAW, like the rear mags on the vintage drag cars.
I agree, the raw has a vintage feel to them... and what's nice is the subtle variation in texture between the centers and the polished lip.
No flares IMO. I wish Rota makes an RKR 5x9 +36. Obvious flares kills the vintage look I think. They look like after thoughts. Like the cladding the NB got. But if ur trying to achieve the racer look then yeah the flares makes sense.
Flares would be great if they were truly moulded flares, otherwise I agree they look like they were an afterthought. I love the look of natural raw aluminum with the polished lip.
CX, can you please reactivate you account so all your old pics show up again, or post some new pics. Your car was always an inspiration to me as you took some wild steps and I appreciate them. I am also sure I was not the only one that feels this way.

those red rocker panels are sexy. as far as wheels, the hyper black would contrast too much with the retro styling, and the raw is just bleh to me. Too boring and unfinished looking. I say hyper silver with no flares, or maybe just some custom metal work to bring the fenders out about two inches.
Instragram, will follow back. @JDMFreshnessTX

I'd definitely go with the raw. For pretty much every reason stated above.
Get raw.
Do it.
My build thread and my Instagram.
Royal Hyper Black with red caps, it will tie up all the chrome/polish door handle, gas cap, roll bars etc that Pandora has and obviously the red for the red interior. For the red stripes use "Pandora Roadster". And yes to moulded flares (or bond it in) coz it will come out as a clean mod. If you can even cut the flares to about half of the bulge size will make it look elegant.
Yeah let us see them pics again.

Doet
Well I just found out the raw was a custom made set and not available to a peasant like myself, unless I get legit wantanabes.... Which are a fortune! Haha.
So royal hyper black or the royal silver... Hmmm...
And my original photobucket was hacked and everything was erased. I only have a limited amount of pictures now, I may even just start a new build thread starting over from my most recent pictures.
Maybe you could have them stripped?
Barring that, go with silver
Just some of my favorite pictures I've got on my laptop. I'll have to take more when I get back stateside
