Thanks for the replies, the first link is up and running again, so if you didn't get a chance to see them the first time try now. These rims are lighther then stock and I have noticed my acceleration has improved alot. I'ved noticed thou that I can feel the road more than before, is this normal? and should I continue putting the same amount of air that the manufacture suggest? thanks again for any replies.

True. They look good on Blue cars, but I wouldn't slap bronze rims on any just any car!
Black rims look great with Silver cars, or any other color for that matter--especially if you're putting Carbon Fiber anywhere on the exterior.
There's a silver Honda s2000 around here with a lip kit, CF hood, lowered, and black rims with a silver lip.
Now that I mention it, there's also a yellow s2000 with matte black rims on it. Both look great.

yeah the black and darker wheels really got popular in europe a few years ago on the bmw's and benzes and then it made it's way over here. I love black wheels and won't own anything different. I'd love to do an escalade ext w/ black 24's and a 6" polished lip

thanks took alot of work to get it that far. The whole top is hand laid carbon fiber and the widebody was built by hand. It took me 6 weeks.
Built it last summer

yeah, im not feeling them either, but that would be only on my car. i bet they would look hot if i saw them out. i prefer some lip on my wheels. those still look nice however.
