x2..and on a the nbp i dont think it looks right. i like a darker wheel, but i wouldnt do black if it were my car. if your car was actually black it would look a lot better, but its not, its very blue compared to a true black. i would go a darker smokey gray or dark dark chrome before straight black. or you could always look in to matching the body color...
but either way, good luck and enjoy whatever you decide

Most cases...I LOVE BLACK! ALL BLACK!!! But...I also agree just a darker shade instead of black...Here's what I did when I owned my TERMI last year...
Smoked head lights, blacked tails, limo tint and BLACK CHROME FR500's staggered 18x8 and 18x9.5 Lowered on H&R springs...
Before the H&R springs................
..............I miss that dam car...It was a FREAKIN BEAST! 450rwhp

Thanks for the recommendation. I will let my son know. I gave the car to him & he wanted to do a few mods which I agreed to install for him. He will be a freshman in college this coming year at UCLA but too bad, 1st year students can't have cars & have to stay in the dorms!!

nice Jskman987! car look amazing hehe.
Here are my rims powder coated...look likes gunmetal with the flash on but its flat black. Now i just need to buy those wheel some new tires. I got my eyes on some Dunlop since its isint as expensive as the other brand i was looking for and have been told that they are good for the price. Heres the pic of rims:

I like the black A-Specs but I think I'll be keeping mine the original gunmetal. Black on black is becoming too played out
