you should have left them silver or re finish them in silver. Black looks like ***. might as well put steelies on and call it a day. looks like the civic you see rolling around these neck of da woods.

What's wrong with Phil's GS? It looks great....
But yeah I would have kept the stock wheels in silver....

Matte black OEM wheels just makes it look like the car has steelies...
Only few OEM wheels can pull off Satin/Matte black...the 16" GS3 wheels aren't one of them.
