Rally Wheels without Trim Rings?

So Cardesigner did an awesome job Photoshopping some pinstripes on my wheels trying to determine what might look best if I leave my trim rings off these 15" wheels. So what looks best?

Thanks again Paul!!!

I like the double stripe. Too bad the stampings on the wheel can't be filled with some body filler and repainted. Would give a better look IMO. Have you given any thought to 'blacking out' the the small flat areas that go to the wheel stud openings? I think that would look cool too.

I tried the look without trim rings and although I really like it, there just wasn't enough bling for me. My tires don't contrast the rims the way yours do though.

You are right. Yours look best with the rings. Dark wheels need them more for contrast like you found out.

I think my white ones look best without. I have compared back and forth many times and without wins hands down each time. All in the color (and mind) I guess.
