Honestly, I don't like the black wheels idea. I think if you painted your wheels a gunmetal or darker color the contrast would look great. Along with that, I think there's a certain pride to be seen with seeing clean sleek beak cars. I say gunmetal wheels and fix the headlight like mentioned above and you've got yourself a clean sleek beak. Now time for more go fast goodies!

If it were me, here's what I'd do: Fix the headlight first of course, then VHT the tails (minus reverse lights), 3rd brakelight, and sidemarkers (front and back). Either powder coat your rims a gun metal gray or powder coat their vents black and leave the faces alone, black sail panel, black side mirrors, 3.5" corsa clones, and call it a day until you can get enough saved up for a hood and then a pop-up delete. After that, it's all about what's under the hood

I like the wheels on your car as they are now. Corsa clones on a t/a is a must. Ummm I'd do black side markers to match the "chicken" in the front ( I like saying that) along with the ceta and repaint the calipers black with the chrome looking lettering. I think it'll flow better with those mods. A black sail panel, mirrors, or tails would be too much black for the car IMO with what I listed anyway. Silver with a little black here and there is what I think you should go for

I like simple, but in this case, I have to agree with some of the others.

Black sails, black mirrors and tinted tails n corners.
