Check it out. I don't like them as much as a darker silver or maybe black set... But still, better than the fugly 15x7's...

No, he bought them from 3rd Gen resource, after seeing them I started to reconsider if I wanted to paint my wheels black or not, but I'm still leaning towards black.

I like the flatness in the black lines... looks good, but get them on a car.

Hell yeah, that rocks. The picture even came out good. Alot of rim pics dont do justice for what the rim really looks like but that one does.

I used mothers aluminum polish, but for some reason I can't get them to look perfect, I've gone over the back wheels 2x, the second time with some hand tools. Oh, well maybe I can get the fronts to look better and go from there, I'll post some pics tomorrow when I'm done painting the back ones.
