I blacked out all the chrome, the windows are tinted, so I'm kinda feeling these wheels (20"). Was wondering about my peers' feedback...


First pic is of the rims, 2nd pic of my car


Thanks fellas

To me the wheels look too bright to go with the blacked out look on your car. The design of the wheels seems quite strong and at the same time elegant, but I would like to see them in something dark like gunmetal.

I too think that gun metal is the brightest wheel you will be able to get away with. If you can find some real pictures of the wheels you want to use it would help a lot, rather than heavily edited pictures.

I do like the style. They are a pretty aggressive looking wheel.

Along the previous comments, the wheel, particularly the spokes, are designed to get attention. I can see where you are going with the contrast to the blacked out look, but I agree that there's something more subtle out there starting with a wheel in a gunmetal/titanium finish.

The opinions seem to all be along the same line..i agree, I need to see a real pic of the wheels, these do indeed look photoshopped. But I was turned on more by the design, now I need to see what colors they come in

Thanks everyone!

Those remind me of the SQ5 wheels. I like the look, but even with the black optics, I think the C7 needs something more elegant and sporty if that makes sense. Those look to chunky and I don't know if I even like them on the S4. They look good on the SQ though.

I think the rims look "ok". A little of topic, did you black out the chrome pieces with gloss or matte wrap?

It looks matte from the pictures.

Looking at the "Black Optics" Package looks like it has a gloss rim around the front grill, yet, on the window trim it looks like matte finish.

I like them maybe because I like 5 spoke/old school/American Racing type wheels of my youth.

They have a couple of finishes on their site.

I have gunmetal factory style 20's and IMO they look dull and boring with black. I think the contrast will look good.

The Black Optics package has gloss rim around both the front grill and the windows.

The rubber around the window may not make the gloss trim that obvious compared to chrome.
