car looks awesome...unless you are 25 y/o...leave the wheels, or go gunmetal.

personally, I like the stock subdued silver stock wheels.

They look great! Tinting the windows would make it look downright menacing.

Is that an '04?

No...sadly (actually, gladly) I don't fall into the 20-something demographic anymore. I'm leaning toward keeping her stock for now

Very . I remember lusting over them when I used to work at the dealership back in '04 and '06.

Update those pics!

I don't get it.

If you're going to go black, go ALL black.

The bare metal/silver/stainless/polished steel rings don't make any sense.

Finally a car thread, well close anyways.

Black on black is not a crime, neither is black on white.
