Bro, looks soooo sick....and for some of the comments, if you reallyyyy cant distinguish the wheel and the tire, you are retarded, you can easily tell. And what's with the "They look smaller cause they're black"????WTF?? they look like 19's to me!

yes, i agree to an extent. i would've voted for the other color your were debating, but regardless its still an awesome looking wheel. i just don't think you capture all the detail with everything being black.

you must not pay attention to colors...there's a reason fat chicks wear black. and as far as telling the difference between the wheel and tire, its obviously apparent, but with a quick glance or rolling shot it may not be. black tends to do a good job of blending in, which may leave out details, shape, and contrast. this wheel has plenty of it, but the black doesn't bring it out. that's why a flat black/gloss black does the job well. you at least get a contrast of black.

and the entire car being black as well doesn't help much either. anyway, car looks sick regardless.

Yeah, it does lose some contrast when compared to other colors but in person all of the details are readily apparent. They're somewhat difficult to capture in a photograph especially on a very foggy day such as today.

In the end I decided on this route because I liked the GTS and though that the all black matched the direction I wanted to go with the car.

Thanks for all the comments.

Those are some sick wheels and they gave your G a really nice touch. I like the way you are going with it.

btw the front looks tucked in? you gonna put some spacers?
I may put a spacer on it we'll see. I saw a thread where a Z had a set of GTS with the same offsets and was running a 10mm spacer to make it a +7 offset up front.
