Question Hot or Not?

After 2 months of deciding, I think I have it finally narrowed down to Space Grey, black leather and aftermarket 19" flat black wheels with polished lip. This is the closest I could find. It is longtrans sema car. I belive it has 20" glossy black with chrome lip.

I think flat with polished would look better and more aggressive, since the window trim and exhaust is also a matte/brushed finish.

By the way, I startedwith sparkling graphite, but couldnt get over the eggplant hue in sunny conditions, then went to black sapphire, but last 2 cars were black and Im tired of the upkeep, then to alpine with black wheels, but I always wanted stealth yand aggressive (but not black), so after seeing this pic, I think I am finally set.

So, hot or not?

I think it's sick as fuck, weren't those Long's old wheels? ($$$$$$$$$$$$$)

But hey, do what YOU think will look good on the car, not other people.
If you want something, don't let some of the guys on here talk you out of it.
Then again, nothing wrong with asking for opinions

looks sick from the back, but the rear wheels look a little weird in the 2nd pic. I think its just the shadow hiding the lip or something. looks good tho.

I think a combination of the gloss black and the wheel design is what's hurting that ride. But do what looks good to you...it's your ride!

the color scheme is a great idea (black wheels with polished lip)..

but the wheels themselves look cheap.. the design of the spokes, the quality of the lip and black spokes look like they came from matchbox..

Never thought it was really possible, but those wheels are too big... Maybe?

Something isn't quite right...

From what I remember, they are 20's and they are something crazy like 20x11 on the back. Anyway, they were so big and his car was so low that he coudnt even drive it to sema. He had to drive on his regular wheels then put them on at SEMA just for the show.

I deffinately want flat black and in 19's, narrowed it down to DPE R16's or iforged Drifts with an H&R springs kit.
