i really like the look of black rims matched with strong tint and smoked lights. i i dont care for the design of the stock rims. but who knows, they could look better in black. maybe use photoshop to figure out the diff.

Well, there is really only one vote that counts, and that's yours. If you like the look then go for it. I would agree with RalliArtG3rl, it's best to use a photoshop program to test it out before hand. It's tough to go back once you go though with it.

Keep us in the loop, I'm sure we'd all love to see pics if you decide to go with the black rims.

I voted YES.

I think red and black are a great combination and would give your car a whole other look. Go for it.

Either this or buy new wheels. I've done the DIY painted wheels and they don't last. You can pretty much expect to repaint them yearly with the damage done by brake dust, careless tire installers, rock chips, etc.
