it should look good. black cars will look good with pretty much any color of rims. and it should really look good since its going with your stripes. go for it.

I think it will look good as long as you tie it all together

if you're gonna do everything in gun metal, might want to consider swapping the chrome T/A emblems out for matching letters. you should be able to get them where ever you're getting the stripes

hellz yeah man. thats the best look in my opinion. i swapped rims for one day to see how it'd look. fell in love with it. but i only had them on for one day.

covered in dew. one of the only shots i took while they were on...

I will be powercoating/painting all my "accent" accessories gunmetal... so if there are pics that would be great.

I'm gonna do my wheels, cage, etc...

Anything that is chrome, or shiny, is being powdercoated.... I hate shiny.

doo eeet... see sig. my cars not black, and the wheels arent gunmetal, but i think having something aside from chrome/black would really set the car off (gunmetal/polished lip)
