pfarnz - thanks. a few more pics are in my gallery - page 6 - help yourself.
black/dark/mono rims take some getting used to. you either love em or hate em. i personally dont like the harshness of "black" - so mine are actually a dark charcoal metallic with a very glossy finish - very nice looking in person i think. they go well with the tinted windows.
i didnt want the "bling" of chrome, and just got tired of the original silver that i see on every minivan, saturn, honda, etc. at $250, it is a cheaper option if you dont want to spend 5k. the dark color really shows off the red rotors and calipers well too. a polished lip would look alot better, but you have to pay big bucks for it, and i ("needed"

) a supercharger first.
