Thanks for the suggestions and for taking time to give them. I think you're right about the arches staying black and I'm not crazy about the color of the wheels, but they are very light and have made a huge difference in the perfomance of my car and I don't really want to go through selling them at a loss and buying new ones. These wheels and the larger tires did away with torque steer altogether.

Would you paint them? What color? They are forged so I understand that powder coating isn't appropriate.

I tried the bugguards but they didn't fit very well and left a lot of exposed areas. I've sort of got used to the look now and it's not so noticeable in person.

I'm getting Aesthetic Creations new cf light rings, side marker, door handles and gas lid, so the pure black look may not be so dominant.

Again thanks for your help.
