Usually I dont like dark rims at all.

But I like the way they match with the black trim. I could not pull that off on my S5

And dark rims are easyier to keep looking clean from break dust, unlike the stock vert rims!

Enjoy!

nonameo - yeah, I can polish paint, look at the car! It was a faded pink before that. The paint on the rims is a flat (matte) black - it's supposed to look like that. No amount of polishing will make it glossy.

Jimmy54 - complete brake overhaul is next on the list bc I couldn't agree more!

Jgrts - post pics!

RRTEC - Actually...nope. Stock class in autocrossing requires stock coil springs. Car cannot be lowered, or it knocks it to a different class.

zero cylinder - they are discontinued

To those with compliments - THANKS!

To critics - glad you are able to voice your opinion! I love the stock rims, but IMO these are more fun to drive around with, easier to clean, and are a cheap way to give the car more visual impact. Like I already said, these aren't a bandwagon rim that everyone will like, and that's fine with me, because I dig em!

mmm I figured as much.... I think glossy would look better.
