It's hard for me to judge rims off the car, I'd have to see them on but I think they would look good. They have a nice design.

i really hated them af first because the chrome trims, door handles throws my whole colour scheme off.. so now spending some time taking the trim pieces to paint them.. getting the bodyshop to paint the doorhandles sometimes next week... the wheels are 18s. im still working on the other two wheels at work

tires do have tireshine... thats what made me want the black lip... to have a trippy effect lol

my honest opinion is just so-so. i'd rate them 7/10. i usually love the vs-xx but these are too dark for me for some reason.

okay. first pic looked like it was polished lip... but then.. now..................


get the lip in polish and the face a gunmetal..

and then.. find a slight bigger size..

they look like.. 16"s.........
probably because of the fat tires that are on there..

maybe just my eyes..

almost yay... too much black for me. even blacked out cars need just a slight bit of break in the black... IMO that is.

these would be ideal if the lip was still polished... get the lips re-polished, then YAY
