Personal Opinion, its not my cup of tea, maybe a different set of already black rims?

But i like what uve got, what are they?

What it comes down to is what you go with, none of us will have much influence

Ask ben he may remember me muttering about it over the weekend, my lips are staying sealed until I get the set I want and I can get some shots of the car with em fitted. Till then I'm staying quite.
