i'm not a fan of black rims much anymore either. I think maybe certain applications like silver car with the polished silver lip looks stellar. Dunno, it's hard to see the rim. I'm sure it does wonders for break dust tho.

I'm not a blinger!! bling bling....but I catch some shit for my wheels.....but at the end of the day I like em' ......with that said i'm sure that the black wheels took some serious thought on your part and I respect that.I'm sure it caught you and you were feeling it. So at the end of your day.....if you like them then that is what counts... The X looks good though. I like the Brakes!

I painted my calipers.

Did you use caliper paint for the gold calipers or purchased? I'm interested in red calipers (or blue.. not sure) but I dont know if i want to paint or buy NHTs already powder coated.

Not a big fan of ll black wheels on a white car. IMO It would look better on a grey or black car.

Looks good. Any thoughts on painting the strip of trim on the doors white? I think that's what I'm not liking about it.

I can't wait to see it in person.

One of the reasons I went with the black wheels is because of all the black trim on the x.

nice choice on wheels but not so keen on the color. Reminds me of a honda civic or accord with black rims. Your ride should definitely be leagues above that of course.
