Oh, when you do get your rims make sure you use some of that Armorall spray. It works wonders. Good Luck

Those wheels look Awesome on the non-widebody car. What widths and offsets are they?

To the OP: Color is totally personal opinion but I like black wheels on lighter color cars, definitely not on blue.
