i love the black look with rims. . . especially on a black or silver car. I think it is very modern and classy, yet sporty as well.

i say go for it . . . it will look great!

I can't wait to see it.
For me, silver wheels look best on a silver car. Black wheels look best on these colors, in this order:
black on black car
black on dark gray car
black on silver car
black on white car
black on red car

just my opinion.

nice wheel . . . that will be unique for sure. I thought about going with the colored lip, etc but ended up staying classic. With me having black on black, i think throwing a color in there would kinda throw off what im going for. Nice choice though.

I saw a 3GS with the entire lip painted the color of the car. I thought it was really hot.

Nice choice of wheels!

What size did you get and offset?? For those wheels to look good you need a really aggressive offset. If they do you ride will look sweet!

I'm thinking about getting these. All gunmetal.

i think it would look better with sylver with polish lips, and decent drops, but black rims doesnt blend in good with sylver. But that IMO

If you were slammed to the hilt and the rims were all black
