Default hyperblack rims on millenium silver....what do u think of these rims

i am looking at getting a set of 19s but don't want chrome if its not a clean 5spoke like the dts, lexion, stock 17s.
anyways , came across this hyperblack rims (not sure if thats what they call gunmetal also)
here is my millenium silver GS and a picture of the rims.
i need opinions....yes or no

That color combo looks sick but I am biased. I say do it but hit up the Photoshop forum just to be sure. FYI I looked at ADR wheels and then decided to spend just a bit more on a better brand.

No, mine are silver but I actually was looking for gunmetal/gray when I found mine. I don't know if you are looking for suggestions but you can also consider the Privat Netz and Axis Penta when looking at Mesh wheels.

AXIS PENTA


PRIVAT NETZ


Mine (SILVER)

chop would be your best bet, like everyone stated.....do you plan on dropping the GS? that would make it look better ..... I would request a pic w/ it dropped.....cuz the drop could possibly seal the deal!

i like the adr cos its not so many spokes compared to the others.
and yea am already on coilovers. sits so low on the stock 17s its not even a joke.
carbon hood (if i cant find a stock one for cheap), TTE lip and maybe tints are all coming in place. fresh summer look.
still waitning on someone to help me with the chop in the photoshop section. that might seal the deal.
and i was always a chrome fan before this...lol

Those ADR hyperblack rims will work on your car.. Here is a mag article on a project GS that I posted a while ago with the same rims you seek.

Actually, those look more like the 5Zigen Sports Engine wheels




Here's the gunmetal ADR's on a green GS it belongs to fellow CL member markgs4.

Thanks for linking in my car Seize. I do have those same rims, ADR M-Sports I think their called, and they're the gunmetal color. Id recommend going staggered, as I only have 19x8.5 all around (which I'll likely change soon). My car sits alot lower now than in the pics Seize linked, so the rims look a lot better now in my opinion. This is a somewhat more recent pic of how the rims look with the car lowered and with the kit on. Hope this helps your selection process. Good luck.
