I think the car would look 10 times better without the stripe.

The wheels look awesome with the crome lip.

Not sure if "ghetto" is how I would describe the all black look, but I agree that the chrome lip looks much better, in my opinion.

Thanks and it's all the same color, it's just an odd color, changes with the light conditions

Yep, ditch the stripe. I'd ditch the side louvers as well - basically anything that fastens to your car with a sticker should go.

Your car looks nice, though. I like black wheels a lot, although I prefer them without the lip.

Here are mine that I put on in January. You guys are right that the chrome lip adds great contrast/transition between the tire and the wheel, but this only really matters in photos. In real life, the lack of contrast isn't as noticeable I find, or at least doesn't look bad.

Cool.

If you are curious what your car would look like without the stripe...try photoshop or MS Paint. I did it when I was considering removing the stripe from my Pony Package V6....which I did decide to remove the stripe. I think it looks much better....as would yours...but your car looks very nice as is too.

It ties in with your theme.

It's like the rug... It ties the room together.
