Default Black and SOM wheels
OK, finally got some decent pics of this. I love them, but the wife hates them. So, I expect mixed reviews...hehe.

Just linking my favorites of the smaller-sized shots on here...if anyone wants to see the rest, or wants a full-res one, they're there as well...

Definitely different. Needs tire wet all the time now though since you have shinier black centers. Once the gloss look on the tires is on, it'll be looking even better.

I like them. Good job, and the mirrors are different too. I like what you've done with the exterior!

Looks good, just needs a lil more drop personally. And I'm not feeling the mirrors.

A little more drop? You can't be serious...any lower and you'd be dragging the entire underside of the car on the road...
