Too much black for my liking, I feel chrome would have set the wheels and car off much better.

I'll be in Vegas the following week, maybe you can bring it by for me to take a better look. B)

I think they look great, but I'd rather have a machined lip on mine.
Thanks for the pics, phun-ky!

BTW, what size are those tires? 255/45/18? They look a lot more low profile than I thought they would if that's the size.
Oh, and what kind are they?

not bad at all, but I think it would look better with a machined lip

I don't like black wheels without some sort of chrome/machined lip. From a reasonable distance away it looks like you are driving a car that has hubcaps except that the hubcaps fell off and you can't afford to replace them.

that's exactly what I said! I'm glad someone agrees with me.

Whatever floats your boat...err car (wait, cars don't float). What I mean to say is go with whatever you like. My opinion should (and probably does) mean zero to you when deciding what to do to your car. heck, my fiance absolutely does not want me to get black stripes on my car. She will be helpng to pay for it once we get married and I am finishing up pharmacy school (she will have a degree by then). She will probably be driving it more than me since I'll take the bus a lot. But is that gonna stop me from getting stripes on my car? No. She thinks they are ugly, but says its my car so I can do whatever I want to it.

Looks pretty good but again I'm with the machined lip crowd. Even Vader has a little polished metal on his grill.

Ok am I the only one that thinks this car is a flashing red light on the front bumper away from a David Hasselhoff remake???

Sorry... couldn't resist.

I say do what you want on your car, but it's a bit much Black for my taste.
