    Surely a side on pic

    showing whole car and both wheels would be the way to go before you make a decision . ??

    the first pic makes the rims look bigger imo but its all up to what you think and what you like and for other people to either like it and admire it too or not. go with what you like dude.

    i reckon the first pic as well.
    i think the black ruins the actual detail and affect of the rims.

    what is your gut instinct telling you?

    I think it will look better in the sun, its not actually black im thinking of painting em, im thinking of midnight blue, the same as the car, which always looks better in person,

    although if you painted the centre a lighter colour it might look better. Also I personally believe that painting the centre a different colour will make you wheels look smaller, so that is somethe else to consider.

    For the extra effort I don't think it's worth it, but it's all about personal preference.

    go the painted centres

    & while you've got the wheels off could you check the offsets for me:D

    Have been lookin at these in Japan but hesitant to snap a set up without knowing which offsets work for em. Mondial was goin to do it for me (back when he was selling rims seperatly) but nothing eventuated, probably because you bought the car...

    cheers, tim.
