I think it looks great! Lowering it would take it to the next level.

Good choice. I've been thinking of the Cray Scorpions with the black centers. Basically the same with different spoke design. What sizes did you get?

As has been discussed in another thread(s), I'm not a fan of the all black wheels, but I do like the black centers with the polished/machined rim.

Good looking wheel and a good choice for your car. If your local driving conditions permit, lowering the car would make it look better.

Nice combo!
I wouldn't lower it, keep it rally like, save your suspension travel for utilization.

Look good... And while I'm a bit biased, I do agree that black wheels need (at least) a polished lip to add contrast.

No wonder I prefer (and married two over time ) blonde hotties and polished wheels.

The pictures would get me banned.
I like the mesh wheels he bought, just needed to zoom in close to get a good look.

Nice choice. I was considering those wheels too but all polished. Couldn’t settle on all the spokes and talked myself out of them.
