Default Keep current rims, or get them in black.
Hey guys I need some opinions.

Right now I have 17X9 grey bullet rims, I either want to get two 17X10.5's for the back or get 4 black rims, 17X9 front, 17X10.5 backs. What do you guys think? Which looks better?

Sometimes people make fun of me and say I have mustang wheels(personnally I think they look great on the car and I like how the grey sets of the black) But my friend got black bullets and they really look sweet, so I thought,
1.) they would look good
and
2.) people would stop acusing me of having stang wheels.

I can't believe this is a question.

Black on black. Leave the lip. Just look at my car for a reference for black on black.
