silver looks better, unless u get the black without the polished lip around it and then they would both look good

You dont think they stand out? you dont need to put highlighter colors on something to make them stand out. I think black rims on a white car stand out awesome, and It looks badass when its moving.

Nope, they totally disappear...
Look at the pic again, WHERE are the wheels/tires?
Why spend $ for something that isn't going to be seen..?
Badass? Gee, you have to be able to "SEE" them first, don't you think??
