Re: before (dLo GSR)
DLO, as you might know I'm probably in a very similar situation. Dark Violet Purple (very close to adriatic blue), and went from machined alloy stock rims to the greenlights. When I first saw the wheels, they looked marvelous but on the car I was slightly disappointed. The main reason I think what it lacks is contrast.
Forgive me for using your pics, but examine the following:
Rank the above images to your own preference, and if you choose B over A, and D over C, what you're probably leaning towards is again contrast, which picture B shows the most of (the headlights + clearcorners + shiny rims vs the dark blue). IMO, amber vs dark blue vs dark slate are somewhat of a bad mix...
(and as a non-jdm purist, I personaly find black rotas on most cars a bad contrasting match of colors). Just my 2cents
