looks nice but rims look "dull". IMO it does not compliment the car at all. some chrome on th lips might do it. but for now i they just look like regular winter rims that one would slap on.(you know those regular black wheels). my opinion though.
car color is unique. nice drop.
thumbs up

The drop and tire size are perfect in my eyes. The rims, I am on the fence on. Dark car, plus darker rims??? I just don't know... chrome lips may be the answer like someone else said. If you like it though, that is all that matters.

For some reason, I also think the pics don't do the wheels justice...

Wow, that looks very different. Glad to see some variety in GS modding out there.

Chrome lip would look hot. IMO I think that darker tint on the windows would compliment the dark rims(no lip)

I like the wheel and car color combo for some reason, maybe because its different from the norm, and yet subtle enough to be different (if that makes any sense! ) Good job so far

Nice job... but imo the wheels look ok.. A nice chrome lip would be nice as well.. They did good a good job on the paint also.. Nice choice in mods.. Need to see more pics and angled shots to better expose the wheels.. GL
