IMHO i kinda like your wheels but you NEED to replace the chrome window trim and grill to matte/gloss black... it will compliment your wheels and your car would be much hotter. thanks for the pics

Yes machine finish. They are Status Knight 5 - 20". I believe the sizes are 245/35/20 and 275/25/20.

i think they look good and for some reason i like them more because of the color of your car nit sure why.....+ 1 for the grills and wrap the trim i think it will accent the wheels very well. Those two mods just accentuate the rims i dunno what it is.

Are you sure your rear tire is that size? A 275/25/19 would be smaller in diameter than the fronts you have. Wheels are OK...All that matters though is if you like them. Maybe changing out the chrome they would look better.

I just ordered shadowline and black grills. I'm not positive on the second number on the rear set. I'd go outside and look but were having a mini hurricane here.
