If you are "hooked", why even ask for opinions?

Your car, mod it your way

My opinion: Stock wheels aftermarket

heh...us black onyx guys have had this mod for years


my opinion, doesn't look as good on mil silver as white. But, if you like it, go for it. I will say try to tie in the theme though, like black grille, black rims etc.

if the theme doesn't carry it will look unfinished and therefore, bad.
