[font="'Comic Sans MS"]looks good, but not quite my taste. I think if the car was white, it would look awesome![/font]

Usually a big fan of black wheels. But this time, the wheels in silver looks better. But if you like them. That's all that matters.

I like it! I think you need better lighting though. It's tough to make out the concavity of your wheels (which by the way are one if my favorite OEM wheels).

Thanks for the replies!, I wasnt so sure about the wheels thats why i plasti-dipped them to see how it looks, idk if maybe sandblasting them or another finish would look better OR just leave them the way they were originally.
