To much black for my taste. I think DD wheels look funky when they are all the same color. I would have painted the dished part of the wheels the color of your car.

I'd like to see a PS of that. Not sure it would look great, but it would be another original idea hp

For some reason i'm really not into the whole idea of painting the dish the color of the car... Just a little too tacky for me. Take Aereon's car for example. IMO it looked better with the black saleens. But i hate to keep bringing his car up in the matter of painted lips bc i don't want him or anybody else to think i dont like his car or i am badmouthing it. It still looks sick, i just liked it more with the saleens. That's all. And I personally think the black deep dish looks sick. Especially in person.

That's what makes the world go round though -- different views, different people.

Either you are the first one to take the other side of the spectrum in saying that the black wheels aren't for you, or you are the first one who actually had the nads to say it. I don't mind the criticism. kudos!

Looks great, HP

..... BUT..... looking like a bit too fat a tire for the wheel out back. What are you running and on what wheel? Looks like a 315 on a 9" wheel to me

It might be the all black playing tricks on your eyes jazzer. I am running Nitto 555 Extreme Performance tires all around. Fronts are 245/45/17 on an 8" and rears are 315/35/17 on a 10.5"

I just re-looked at the pics, and the sidewalls do bulge a little bit. It looks healthy -- not fat haha. I had wider tires up front in 255/40/17 (dunlops) and the nittos in 245/45 are much wider than those for some reason! Guess its just the brand.

What tips are those? I noticed they are fairly short tips but are rotated 90 degrees so the slant follows the contour of the bumper...can you take some more pics of them?

Car looks great.
