I don't think it would go for your car. I really only like that look on black cars. If i had the money, I'd get some like that for mine. Stick with the way it is right now, looks great as is.

Black-out on yellow looks really hot, but I'm not sure if your rims have enough lip to pull it off. I think it looks good now, and good powder-coated. Do what YOU think looks best. Would be an interesting change, thats for sure.

Just do the wide body and then get a black/polished rim with a 4" lip

although i think that those powdercoated rims look nice on your ride, i have to agree with others that it should be better to keep them as they are. if you had some lip, i'd be 100% for it, but i'd keep it stock for now.

that is one of the traits of BBS RCs....They have absolutely no lip. The spokes go all the way out to the edge, but that also makes the rim seem bigger than it is...

i wouldn't do it to RC's. Take a look at a set of rgr's, those would look great on your car.

I'd say go for it if there was a lip. But since there isn't a lip, keep it the way it is. Just my .02

Do what you like.

I have wanted a set of RG-Rs ever since they came out but i really like the RCs too...I cant justify spending all that money for a brand new set of rims right now. I got other things that i want to do to my car before dishing out another 2500.

One thing I hate on Nice Cars is Black Rims the Graphite Grey Kind of Ok in some cars but overall I hate it.


I would leave it the way you got it, it looks the best like it is.
