Well I guess I'll be the first hater. Too much black going on there. You should have just powder coated the inside of the rims and left the lip silver. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

IMO the all black looks real good. Silver/Chrome/Polished lip with the black looks weird to me when I picture it in my head. There are many murdered out coupes but I think no sedans yet. Do it!

yea, i'm not a fan of the all black wheels either. mainly because the black of the wheel will never be the same black as the tires themselves, so the different blacks makes it weird to me.

I'm picking them up directly from Megan Racing tomorrow. Tein and Megan both lagged cuz they were out of stock but Megans are arriving tomorrow. I'm going to install as soon as I can. Most likely before the weekend.

Since your wheels don't have a chrome lip I think blacking out the rest of the chrome on the car would look sick. I like blacked out everything Black house headlights too

IMHO the sedan's styling is off just a bit compared to the coupe. Murdering it out will take away from the styling enough to make it look better.

I think that you need the chrome trim it add's alot to your car even if everything else is blacked out the trim should stay! It looks great!
