I am thinking about getting these wheels for my 03 Black sedan. I currently have the factory 17" wheels now. I think these would look really good on a black sedan. Any opinions?

Yeah Tom, I believe you are correct.
They are nice rims and I like them altho high maintenance.
But those spokes tho are soooooo close to the edge and would be very susceptible to curb rash.

Nice choice Canuck. Chrome on black looks rich.
and a bit more luxury than sport but maybe that is what you're after. You'll definitley have the only one like it in NB. Is the offset okay?
GSM is likely right with the curb rash, and maintenance issue. I know it's sure true with the Brembos on my coupe. I can't drive 5 kms without brake dust. Clean em almost every day....

Hmmm....never thought about the curb rash...good point. As far as having to clean them everyday, I do that already with the factory wheels so I am not too worried about that. I thought they would look really good with all of the chrome accents that are already on the car.

, you can get away with it and not get any scuffs (Mine are 2yrs old now without a single 'booboo') but it's rare to be so lucky.It was just a thought.
As RBull says, daily dusting is a ritual with the G. If you keep them well waxed, they're easy to clean.
