I personally enjoy the ninja look. I like my bsp, with full black tints (getting the front windows tinted this week), and black rims. I think the style and type of rims makes it or breaks it. Get a nice 5 or 6 spoke clean rim and it should look alot better.

Black on black is not bad. I just think chrome lip isn't as good as everyone thinks. And maybe the style of the wheel might be throwing you off.

I disagree with black on black being played out! In fact, black on black is very tasteful, which is why it can be done over and over. Smoke your side markers, get rid of your windshield scion emblem, and maybe the scion logo on the grill and you're good to go! Those rims look appealing on your scion, props.

Is ninja a new look? I thought the black on black was the stealth look?

If you don't like the way the rims look, you can always donate them to the "Scott8 rim fund" Your donation would be greatly appreciated

oh please dont get me wrong, if you like your rims im happy for you. I personally dont like them. I would go for a simple 5 spoke style. No pattern on the spokes. Its my taste. And yeah i call it ninja because thats what the style was called in paintball, and i just kept the term lol.

I don't think the "black on black" look is played out. I think it is more of a classic look than anything else. On Tuesday I had these MB Motoring cheapies put on my '08 Black Sand Pearl:


I decided to stick with 5 spokes because they are a hell of a lot easier to clean than the 527+ silly spokes on the stockers.


Actually this is what is pretty damn played out

Plus it stops at every gas station!

yeah I'll post some side views, they are kinda growing on me a little bit, I guess i'll ditch the scion vinyl.... i only did it for the sun and stuff but didnt want to overkill with a huge ___ decal. Ive been looking for a direct oem swap out grill to lose the scion emblem cant cant seem to find one, im not a fan of having ____ zip tied all over the place.
