Yellow is the best color for black wheels. Those look sharp.

A few years ago I was on the freeway and there was a high speed chase. The suspect passed right by me and the tires were completely gone. Sounded like a train coming down the freeway

We got them from Carid. They are 1000 for the set. I looked at a lot of wheel. I know I could not spend 6 grand on wheels. They do not make the new gs wheels to fit my car.
