While I agree they would look better on a silver car, I think they look great. Some black pearl emblems would really set them off

Please post sizes and offsets

Thanks

This is the look you are going is nice- it's just a bit too dark, I think. Unless you lighten them it looks like there are

hubbaps there like a waste of money . they are nice rims, just cannot see them so great.

abflunggs's advans -gold

these are dark

I agree with everyone on the color being too dark, but still nice for beater wheels. Likin' the plates though.

Default beater rims

I like the rims but there is nothing to break up all that black. I had black rims once but they looked cool because the center was machined and so were the lips. Maybe you could add some color in the background, maybe white. Just a little on the sides of the spokes. Just a thought. Still nice though.
