I think that what he's trying to say is that the car looks all black and the rims don't provide any contrast to the car. I personally don't like that look too much either... but to each their own, so if that's the look he wants for the car, then it's all good!!!

Yes, It blends in to much I rather have the contrast. I guess beauty is in the eyes of the driver.

nah... it doesn't blend in "too much" ...with the chrome rings, I'd say it doesn't blend in enough. When anything is mostly monochromed out, the elements that aren't gain huge visual attention—wheel rings don't deserve the attention they're getting now. Nor does the chrome "ring" around the windows with a tint on black paint... If you're going to go mono, go all the way... or make sure the things that aren't monochromatic deserve the focus.

They actually have what's called a Maxis lip which has the same offset but gives it a bigger lip. I want to keep all the wheels the same so that I can rotate. Don't wanna waste rubber.

I think it looks pretty damn sweet but would only be that much better dropped an inch or two.

Love black rims on black cars. Couple of suggestion, lower your ride a lil bit and tinting that window would look crazy
