    I'm not much of a fan of blacked out anything. It hides detail.

    I think the black wheels would look nice if some part of the car was black, and not just the vinyl top, prolly the whole car with those :hmmm:. Those particular wheels I think look best in the silver. I was also thinking about black wheels, but I think I'm gonna go with silver or chrome. Like these wheelshttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...ryZ66483QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    In a 17x8 all around. I think they might just rub though.:16suspect

    Eventually the car will be a grabber orange type color with black stripes. As well as MaverickMans C/F Grabber hood. So those parts would be black.

    Maybe I'll just them in silver, I could always powdercoat them later..

    Also, I need some more info on whether or not they will fit. I posted the size earlier in the thread..
    Wheel Size: 17x9"
    Wheel Backspacing: 6.02"
    Wheel Offset: +26mm
    Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.5 inch

    Maybe if I found them in 17x8 will they fit without a problem?

    you need to see what is the differences in the back spaces between my wheels and the wheels you want. I have put bullit wheels 17x9's all arownd with a 1" spacer in front and a 1 1/4" spacer on back. tire 245 45 17 in front and 255 45 17 in rear. It will be better if you can get 17x8 in front with a smaller tire but it is up to you. I like how mine looks see picture.

    If I'm not mistaken I think you would need about 3/4" spacer to get that to work. Which is better and under an inch so doesn't seem tooo bad. I'm sure someone will jump in to correct me or approve :cheers:.
