Not a very good pic, but from what I can see, not my cup o' tea. But as long as you like 'em, who cares what others think...

Speaking not specifically to the OP, but to the look in general...
I'm not at ALL into the blacked/grayed-out wheels fad that's all the rage right now.

Folks were SO into wheels (too much chrome; too many alloys; too big; too many rivets; wild color combos, etc.) that the natural 180º antithesis fad of de-emphasizing wheels HAD to come about.

They just look like they're covered in brake dust to me. /end soapbox

Sorry but I'd have to agree with the other two guys. I'd say go for some aftermarket wheels if you want that look. Check out tirerack.com. I'm sure they'll have some.

not too big of a fan on the blk rims either. they look too much like donuts. but if you like the look, and gloss to them and not a flat black paint. imo. or get some chrome!! :-)

not on stock wheels, obviously. But to figure out if it will fit on a proper wheels, we need to know the offset amongst other things.

It looks okay. Maybe if it was a gloss black I think it would look much better. As long as you like it then who cares what others think...keep up the good work...
