Works great on SGM. I think it will work great for neutral colors; it will not work for more colorful 2IS...

Yes looks good on the darker IS's and probably Glacier Frost as well.

Like the style, but I've always felt that gold rims are a bit subaru-like. Just my take, but subie = cheap.

I think they look ok, I mean you can pull it off. But I think it would look a tad better if the car was black (being that the rims are a gold).

But like FiveOhNine said...it does look a little Subie'ish. But the style of the rims are nice.

Sorry for the double post (to the Moderators)

But I just wanted to add to what I had said previously...

The rims are nice but I feel like that are attracting too much attention to the wheels. Im new to the whole MOD thing with Cars...but correct me if i am wrong guys..

Rims are really suppose to accent the cars overall appearance. Your gold rims are drawing attention away from the car itself which is defeating the purpose. You want to the attention on the car, not just your wheels for an overall aesthetic appeal. My eyes went right to the wheels and not your car.
(I use to be an art major, and balance is a little offset with your rim addition.)
