Im such a Nazi, but even the black with polished lip is getting a little eh?!

I mean, I see Toyota Scions, Mustangs, Hondas and Acuras doing the whole Black with polished lip look too. Just go all black or not at all.
I hear ya. What about a hyperblack rim? Like the VMR VB-2's jim7498 has?

m5 black rims look sickkk, something about the m5 rims that looks classy and agressive.

I was thinking the same thing! I don't know if I want to do a black/gray theme or just keep it how it is and do some silver or gunmetal rims?
It's hell isn't it.

Man I sure do like khooger's car. M6 rims with the blackout grilles sure looks like what I want.

Personally I don't like the blacked out look. Go with CHROME !!! Lot's of Chrome. If you need pictures just search the word "ENVY"

Both wheels look good to. IMHO, I like the M6 wheels.

Go for contrast
I would never black out ...never ever...it just makes it boring.....I believe the cars come best when stock....

slight mods like spoilers, new rims are fine....but not everything blacked out....

bottomline...contrast is beautifull....
