Thank you again for all the feedback. I know its my car, and my opinion is the only one that should matter, but as I said above I was really on the fence and was looking for the masses to push me one direction or the other. At this point, it was easy enough to have them done in a different color if wanted without too much expense or hassle.
They are factory 19/20" wheels. They look a little "off" in size because they actually arent bolted onto the car, but rather sitting on my shoes (LOL to all the jokes there) in front of the current wheel/tire combo. So the sizing is just an optical illusion.

Thanks Dave. I was looking for the right words, and you hit the nail on the head.

Hahaha ! The wheels actually came from you initially as pearl nickle. Gorgeous color with some flip but didn't like it on the shark Grey.

I mean no disrespect but I dont think grey and bronze match cleanly. Your rims have a bit of a greyish tint to the bronzing which has your eyes teased into thinking they match - but they dont. Also, as stated above, that color doesn't make your wheels pop. There is hardly any contrast from wheel, to tire, to the body. I dont think the yellow calipers are helping make a clean color blend either.
If you're having doubts, you probably should get them redone in a different color. Im a huge fan of chrome - would that be something you would consider? If so - then your wheels would pop cause I absolutely love those wheels you have...
I went through the same thing with my black Z51 wheels - everyone loved them buy me...and I never thought the car looked AWESOME until I put on my chrome wheels... Best of luck!
