Ive been back and forth on this for about a week on if i wanna go blacked out or not. But this is about the wheels, They are a set of powder-coated Black Boyd Smothies 18x10 in the rear 18x9 in the front with Toyo Rubber all around. If i do get them ima tint the tails, and paint the chrome window molding black.

So it comes down to A: Keep it how it is. OR B: Murder it out

Any input is appreciated whether it be good or bad.


Thanks,
Nick

I'm usually not a big fan of the murdered out look, but I think it will look good on the Impala. Only thing I would change is to have the hood painted to match the car.

I like the black look but it needs more color, maybe something as suddle as a pinstripe around the wheels just to set it off.

As a former 94 Caprice 9c1 and 96 Impala SS owner, I say go with the Boyds. 18s look really good on Impalas. You're more than likely going to have to roll the fenders for them if you already have not. I looks like you may have spacers/adapters for the rear? Man I love these cars. I still have dreams about mine lol. Very nice, good luck.

Black except for the corner lights. That looks weird to me for some reason.
