looks pretty cool, especially your car being silver. black cars would need that chrome lip to give it contrast, but yours looks pretty good. i like it.

The car looks so fresh and clean but the all-black wheels just look dirty IMO. Definately would need that polished or chrome lip

I think that it looks good, the tail lights help even things out.

If the lips were polished it would go better with the silver. I haven't seen many colored top SS's.

Looks good, I am trying to decide between all black, or black/polished lip . I am afraid black wheels will take away the clean look the car has. Make it look dirty. The silver and all black looks good though.

Awsome Lower it down and polish the brake calipers. I'm sure pictures do NOT do those wheels justice. Very nice choice and I say.. NO polished lip! I love the look the way it is.

After looking at these pics they don't give the rims justice. Birdman these rims go great with any solid color. Especially RED or WHITE.
