Black ones just look out of place. Standard for sure.

I actually dont mind the SR wheels in black. Youve got the right ride height too.

But I do love a clean standard looking car :P

The Black ones look alot better. Should paint them properly and use a clear coat though.

Never liked those other wheels. Sooo ugly

I chose Matt black on purpose, do yous think a gloss black would look better? I might put my rear left on to my front right and see what it will look like with black wheels front and back

SSSL rears and SL fronts, wanted SSL originally for the front but it sits how I wanted it to so I'm leaving it. Got defected on the rear, looks about 97mm from the ground but that's with a 40kg sub in the boot

Black if you had the black car to match. But no way on the white... It looks so bad.

Either way the black wheel design looks 11ty times better than the stockers you have on the front. I myself would have them gunmetal grey just so its not the same colour as the tyres but still has dark wheels light car look going on.
