    Help with new wheels

    I want your guys adivse on some rims. I sold my old ones and was looking to get some new ones. I wanted to get some dark rims to go with my dark car. But I can't decide weather a black rims would look decent or if it would look wierd.

    Heres the rim


    Heres the car.


    If you didn't know my car is the dark grey one.

    i personally dont like it man. I hate spokies (too thin) let alone it its like in there with your car's color. U need something to offset the dark color of ur car like ur old rim. I know u need to upgrade, but the color should have not been one of them for ur rim. Its like looking at a guy wearing blue jeans with blue shirt. Dont ask me whats wrong with it, but u just look at him and think, wtf is he wearing???

    My suggestion, get a different color and a different design. its cause u dont really have any bigger brakes (unless ur gonna upgrade soon) and it just does nto look right. It looks like ur car would be floating. u know what i mean?

    The reason I want some dark rims is I like how my car look all nice and sleek with everything being dark. But with me who know I might suprise everyone with something crazy.
