I think the wheels need to be defined more by say a pinstripe. Its hard to tell where the wheel ends and the tire begins and looks like the car is riding on stars

My thoughts exactly. With a black lip (and chromed wheel face), the tire looks much bigger than it actually is. So even though you're riding on 20's (I assume), it doesn't look like it. This is why a couple members are recommending a pinstripe around the wheels.

I don't think the wheels look too bad, though.

i personally think that a polished lip would look really nice, can you take some higher res pics before we judge you too harshly?

I think it would look a lot better with a silver stripe on the outer lip.

imo i think a polished lip would have looked better. but im pretty sure that the pics dont do the wheels justice. but good choice i like the murdered out look.

I think it's pretty nice if you are going for the "blacked-out" look.

Otherwise, a polished lip would've set it off a lot better. Nevertheless, still nice.

agreed, if it was polish/chrome lip it'll look a lot better. IMO our black IS just doesn't match black lip.. Those are 20"s right?

Polish the lip and you'll have a nice looking setup.

the rear tire looks weird to me. looks like they're to big for the width of the wheel itself?
