Very nice rim.......

Do you have a link to the site that sells them?

Too bad they have that 1960's style bullet center cap. Wonder if there's a way to make a flat one.

I personally dont like the black street lites. I really think some 17" black weld rts's would look nasty on your car!

I would say the black version, I think it will look good with the black rocker panel and silver contrast of your paint.

I am not a fan of black rims on cars, with that being said you have a car that can pull off the minimal black on the street lights and I vote black.

ssvert99 will get back with you, he was great to deal with when I bought my polished set last week, I just wish they would arrive .

yeah im getting mixed reviews on what would look good... the black ones are 200$ more a set vs. the polished... either set imo. would look good i just have to make myself decide on one or the other

polished would look good for the first few months but id be scared it would eventually fade


but black looks good also
