I love the car the way it is now with the rims! Don't change it!

I've always though those wheels would be good canidates for a custom time attack paint job, even though I'm not a huge fan of time attack colored rims (I think it's a fad)

I'd keep 'em silver.

Talking don't change a thing

The wheels might as well be steelies if you're gonna paint 'em black. Unless you paint the edges red, blue, etc....

sweet i am thinking about the same wheels and was wondering if 17's would look too small due to the big lip. They look great on your car! Which offset did you get? +35, +45? any drop or rubbing issues?
