black rims on a black car just looks sick! don't get me wrong, chrome rims would look nice on a black car as well, but black rims just looks soooo good.

Out of the 2, I hate to say it, but the Dub, 300, Magnum, Charger, CTS, SUVs, Unique AutoSports, 310 Motoring played out Black...

chrome is always nice. although if its your wifes car and if she is not as careful like my gf is i would probably get the black face because the lip would be easier to fix if there is curb rash damage then with chrome it would be very pricey to fix those

I would go the black on black route. I use to love chrome but I think the black wheels staggered on your GS would look sick!

Good choice and nice sig.

Are they ready to be shipped or are you going to have to wait for them?

I vote black as well... However, 20" tires are actually cheaper than 19" tires...

I remember this being the case back in my tire sales days when 19's and 20's first gained popularity but I don't think it is the case anymore.

Although I could be wrong.
