Default Pic request - Black wheels on NBM

Does anyone have pics of black wheels on a Navy Blue Metallic c5? I'm considering new wheels.

I don't care for black wheels, but I was curious since I have a NBM and wanted to see it.

Sorry for the crude photoshop, but I took MOTOJB's wheels and put them on my car.

Nope. I like the looks of a lowered car too, but around here there is just too much junk in the roads (animals, construction trash, branches, truck tire treads, etc). I put a lot of miles on it and don't want to worry as much about breaking stuff.

If they were meant to be lowered, for the street, they would have come that way.

I understand what you are saying. Mine is just lowered on stock bolts for that reason.
