Default Black wheels on champagne? And different widths infront?

Hey guys, I am back after a long vacation from this site and am ready to do wheels! I have decided 20's and I don't know what color to do! I know silver and chrome would look nice, but to be different what do you think of black?! I know its a step out of the box, and I want to know what you think about it.

Also would I have any problems putting on one 8.5" wheel and one 9.5" wheel in the front?

Thanks,
Elliott

8.5 on one side and a 9.5 width wheel on the other. That would not fly, the car would drive and track a little funny. I had a friend a while back blow out a front tire and he ended up using my friends 5th wheel which was a 20x9. He drove from North Hollywood to San Diego with a 20x9 on one side and a 20x8 on the other and drove very wierd. Don't forget about rotation, if you wnat to stay conservative get non staggered wheels.

If you want I can email you a picture of my car and just have someone do a photoshop to make it Champagne.

Good luck!

The black can work on the champagne if you tie it in with the right tint / some cf trim and a wicked drop / etc. A gold car with black wheels and no other mods would look odd IMO

Right now I have 15% tint, and all else is stock...I am thinking going a nice polish wheel. D2 can you help me pick out a sick 1 piece wheel with tires from your shop? I know you used to have this color and you could help significantly in my decision!
