Hmmm..It is your car and you do what you want but IMO I think the Bling Chrome clashes with that pretty green.A few different ways you could have gone to bring out the car..Those wheels overpower it..Hate to be a critic but you asked..

looks good...chrome on our green cars looks good, CL member Hudini had some 20" chrome's on his Jade GS4 and his car in my opinion was one of the hottest green GS4's Ive seen. I think once you lower it, it'll look a whole lot better.

If you are going to have peoples eyes directed to your wheels, you gotta do something about the calipers. Paint those jokers, it's easy and makes a world of difference.

I say lower it, even just a little...it'll make a world of difference with respect to how you car will look...will make it look more sporty and aggressive in my opinion. Otherwise, the pics look great
