Need Opinions

Okay as some of you may know I ordered some 18's 2 weeks ago, Konig Flights, well I decided I don't want 18's and would like to go with an entirely different look for my car.

I have a silver car and I love silver and black, so i think this setup would look good, but I want to hear what you guys and gals have to say about this.

My silver car which is lowered with:

Carbon Fiber hood

those rims
maybe the jdm front grill thing

I know I would like the look so don't tell me that its ur car blah blah blah, Just tell me what you think, and if you do happen to like it what else do you think would look good?

Thanks

Those rims look sweet. Carbon figer tail lights, black projectors on front, dark tint....That sounds like a plan to me.

I love dark colored rims, especially on light colored cars. I think the contrast of the colors really makes both the car and the rims stand out. I have gunmetal colored rims on my SSM civic and I love the way they look. Even better now since I dropped it on Neuspeeds a couple weeks ago. Get the rims, they would look awesome!!!

Here are the rims I got but don't want, they are going on ebay soon unless anyone here wants them?



$550 they are brand new

Yes I do realize that they would look like stock hubs from a distance but oh well, from up close they don't and I like the look they give, DIFFERENT from everyone else. hehe i hate looking like anyone else

Thanks for the ideas, carbon tails and heads are looking good, though i think with a cf hood cf heads would be too much, plus i just paid 110 for new headlights cuz i screwed mine up when i cleared them

Well now that u mention it, I hope thats not how they sent them, I'll take pics of em before I resell them. I haven't gotten them in yet, and I'm not at home now to catch the UPS man if and when he gets here. But they should be here either today or monday.

The black ones are 109 each from the shop(like 440), or 380 for the set on ebay.
Here is the link for the rims and many others

Gum-metal has no type of glistening shine to it. I'd paint them if I were to get them cuz they all look the same no matter what. They're not even black.
