They look bland in black. Those should look pretty sweet after you polish them.

they're ugly, but they were god-aweful with that little ricer spray bomb you had going on. polished and the car having new paint will make it look like it didn't just come out of your local trailor park

if the muffler was pulled up and not exposing so much of it, leaving the tip showing it would look alot better man. and dont waste your time polishing those wheels. just gets something else. slips are cheap as **** and i'm not a big rota guy but they'll look better then those
