Very nice, if you have already ordered them, I dont think you will be disappointed, however, if you are still in the decision phase, you might look into some polished/chrome wheels with that particular paint color. Just my opinion, but I dont think black wheels look quite as good with your paint color. Whatever you decide will look great though, I am sure.

Not a fan of black wheels unless it has a polished lip to add some contrast.

Last year i would have agreed with you guys. but every car nowadays (at least where i live) seems to have that black w/ chrome lip setup. It's just getting old and played out to me. Not original anymore. I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that those all black rims would look GREAT with your body color.

I agree 100% with you.

I have the exact paint color I believe on my car (mine may be darker) and I have black ponies currently on the car. The black wheels really look good on the car but they aren't really emphasized completely and I think may make the car look bad unless in a lighted area.

I decided on "Weld Draglites", which I got for a steel with tires for $600 shipped and should be here late this week or early next week. I think chrome or polished would like great with your color scheme. I already have a black theme going on with my car but am switching it up a little bit.
