I think it looks sick, Silver car with black rims is the best color combo IMO. Did you just have the stockers powder coated or what?

debadge the cts part and the v emblems have painted black over the colored areas. just an opinion obviously. i had my wheels powder coated flat black as well. man the bad thing is when you wash it and tire shine gets on them and turns them into a gloss its gonna make you rethink it. i know i did but just solved that problem and put flat black tire shine haha

I plan on taking the cts off, just forgot.

I really dont' like the way it looks when you paint over the V's and the Crests. I have seen it and just don't care for it.

As far as the tire black I'lll let you know how that goes. I have had gray rims before/still do and it doesn't make them gloss... TBD (where the hell did you get flat black tire shine?)

the pep boys that was down the street from where i used to live carried it and i think napa does too. i used to have the guys at the dealership detail my car and the stuff they use for tire shine is amazing and well they sprayed over my wheels. at first i was like "damn that looks good", then it was "dammit", then i heard of flat black tire shine. its not as glossy obviously but it does go along with the matte black wheels.
