Depends whether your garage is also used as a cocaine store and you get the off spillage now and again?  :grin:

Main reason that looks good (apart from the rims) is that it has just the right drop and the wheels have a bit better offset than genuine ones (these are 45mm on an 8 inch wide rim) which sits them nicely in the arches.  :nerd:

I suppose the black wheels absorb more heat, heat the tyres more quickly, the car gets better grip, the car gets away from all of us more quickly, saves us from seeing how REVOlting it looks and then serves a dual purpose as a hearse or a getaway car for criminals! :sick:
