I think the black will be more obvious to the eye than the typical silver/gray....since they are sandwiched between a silver wheel and silver hub.

You could return the spacers if you haven't opened them. Give Rogue Engineering spacers a try next. Also, go with 15mm. I have 12's on the rear, and they are not pushed out enough.

You know..I had the 15mm on order and I wasn't confident that I wouldnt have any rubbing whatsoever..so I decided to get the 12mm..

Heck..how much of a difference can the 3mm really make?

You'd be surprised how much difference it makes. 15mm will NOT rub, so just get them already!
