Black rims are played...

But I don't care, hahaha, I like dark rims on light cars. Rims are 20" x 8.5" Zinik Minardis with a +42 offset. Tires are General Exclaim UHP's in 245/35. The tires were cheap at $129 a piece, but from the last couple days of driving, they seem to be worth it. Road noise is about the same as with the stock wheels, and bumps I expected to be harsh were tolerable. I can't say much about handling yet since the tires only have about 100 miles on them, but so far so good.

Oh, and btw, yes I know I need to lower the car. The reason I got rims first is because I bent a rim on a pothole and I saw it as a chance to get new rims. Won't be able to drop it anytime soon, gotta pay off the rims first. Oh well, haha. Let me know what you guys (and a few girls) think.

I think they look really good, can I get some close up pix of your headlights and tailights? Are they overlays?

Thanks for the compliments everybody.

roll4life, 95_Maxima_5spd: I was thinking the same exact thing. Everything gets played out, so who cares. I don't see the whole black wheels thing as a phase, if it still looks good, then it still looks good. I had black wheels on my last car also.

Capital15: Yup, the tires seem to be holding up pretty well. How many miles do you currently have on yours?

UNFADEABLE MAX: Yes they are overlays from bluebatmobile. 6/10 smoke for the tails and 3/10 smoke for the heads. Check my cardomain for more pics (link in sig), I added some close-ups for you, let me know if you want more pics.

At first I thought you were going to drop the Pac line; "Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots."

Rims look nice. W/ a 1.5 in drop, you'll be good to go.

Once again, thanks for the compliments. Once these rims are paid off and it stops raining here, I'll be sure to lower it. That front gap is really bothering me, hahaha.

As for my tint, it's 20% in the rear and 50% up front. Directly from the side, the difference is obvious, which I think is good so I don't get bothered by the popo's. From different angles, the tints almost look the same, may be due to the tint percentages, but also may be due to the black interior.
