I'd get the daytonas in a brushed finish or glossy black.

Now, you're headed in the right direction.

Those Daytonas are the ones I would get from the selection you listed.

I agree with painting them black if you're not too happy, but if you're going for a new set of wheels then I think the Maya's you posted are the ones to go for.

I think you'll like the effect.

Cut your losses, buy new wheels. Black looks better than what you have, but with your car 'good enough' shouldn't be good enough.

The black thing is way overdone. We were doing that in the 80's. Worst part is that you dont get the full effect of the wheels with them blacked out. Why don't you just get some steel wheels with no hubcaps and paint them black (if they aren't already)?

I think these would look nice in black w/ polished lip.

I agree.
I don't have anything against black cars, however. I've got a black e46.

What I don't like about black wheels is that you lose some of the details in the wheel. You've got to really come up close to see some of the contours of the face (i.e. is it flat or does it curve inward as the spokes travel from the center toward the lip?). Also, you don't realize how many spokes the wheel has at times (i.e. is that 6 or 7 or 8 spokes? Or is it 6 spokes with each spoke split in half, etc.).

Speaking of the 80's...remember when people use to do white accessories and wheels with their white cars? YUCK! :thumbsdown:

yo, your ride is schweet... especially with the hamann front bumper...

but yeah mang, those rimz SO belong on a benzino.

sell em to a benzino owner on ebay or sumfin and get new rims...

IMO, you should get the new Hartges!!! THOSE ARE HOTT, and your body kit would balance those 21" bad boys so they wouldn't look too big on your car...

I'd love to see those Hartge's in a deep dish version. I just love me some lips. But there's something about those rivets that I'm not feeling. I guess I prefer the good 'ol fashion rivets over these newer ones which seem to having a housing around each one.

I also like the air splitters on the front spoiler. Now that is sick!
