I think it would look pretty sweet!!!!
I'm interested to see what it would look like, as I too have a sliver teg, a gs though.

I think gunmetal circuit 8's would look amazing!!

Try and photoshop some on!!

Lower and tint that bad boy, bronze will look good. Everyone will tell you to get 15's, including me. I ditched my 17's for 15's and I am loving it. Cheaper tires, no rubbing, less rice appeal, better suspension feel/reaction, your rotors dont look like stock tiny POS's. 16's are a decent compromize, but when you break it down, anyone that is serious about thier ride runs 15's.

it is lowered, its on H&R sports. i know its hard to tell. im not a big fan on tinting. iv seen 15 inch c8's and the spokes just arnt long enough, i think it would look better with 16's. but seems like everyone likes bronze

Bronze would look nice on your car but you might get tired of it.... You can never go wrong with GunMetal.. thats my suggestion.. The last few pics of the polished black rims looks AMAZING... great idea as well
