Hmmmm... looks just like a black rim, no definition. I think you'd be better off with a dark silver.

I love the wheels, and the contrast, but I think a silver pinstripe or something on them would help break them up and define them more. JMHO.

They look more black than gunmetal to me. They look good though, kinda like a reverse image of my car. Black wheels on a silver car always look good

I'm very very slowly warming to black rims, but, to me they just get kinda lost in the background!

Can't beat $410 for a complete set! good score!

I think the gunmetal grey GXP rims I had last fall were about prime -they needed to be buffed smooth and clear coated, but the color was, bar none, the best I can imagine that is fitting for the wheels.

WOW!!! That is pretty hot bruh. Tint the windows and it will be ridiculous. I love it regardless. What about a brake upgrade? Nothing super, but some red calipers and crossed drill slotted rotors.... :bpylons:
The black rim addiction is making its way through my brain too, and thats why I tinited my windows at 15% instead of 25% so when the rims come round. OH BOY!! Love it though, be safe, and enjoy :banana:
