Excellent.

That's a big win!

So i was going to post some photos of the wheels I just installed however 200kb is no where near the size of the photo. I was reading a forum where Craig mentioned something about Imgur or something like that, where you paste a link?? Anyone able to shed some light?

Thanks Heaps Shambles! Will try it later. Western Sydney is putrid this morning. 8:00am and it's 30 degrees, sticky and overcast. I ain't washing my car in this crappy weather lol.

[Vivalazuzu]

Well i decided to go out in this horrible heat and wash my car. Here are some photos i took with the Veloster wheels.
Tyres are Kumho KU39 225/40r18.

Nice track, fill-out of arches and wheel pattern - it's a win.

Another 3dr wheels aren't really my choice but it's not my car

Well at least we know what they would look like on our cars now without needing to photoshop them on.

I think they would look even more awesome in a matte black.

I reckon they suit the car! Well done!

What Dazz saidd.

As much as I like them, there's something in what @CraigB said. The dealers we meet all tell us white cars with plenty of black offset including tinting and wheels are selling fast!

You could play with a light spray of matte black out of a can just to see how you like it. I'm sure it'll scrub off easily enough if you change your mind.

Black wheels and trim are the current flavor of the month, but personally I'm not a big fan... I've never been one for following trends through, unless they suit my situation.

Would love those wheels on my car.  Nice match..

The black wheels started off as a flavour of the month some years ago but are getting more and more popular all the time, their nice on white and "silver cars" though I still prefer chrome wheels for all other colours.

Vivalazuzu's rims still look good either way

It's a cyclic thing. Like how TV's and Audio components used to alternate between silver and black. To be honest. I think it is a marketing ploy to get people to update their Tv, audio or wheels, etc.. as the case may be.

Cynic!
 

[Vivalazuzu]

Thank you to all who have commented. I did consider matte black but something about shadow chrome wheel with the chrome plastic just worked. Maybe i will spray them later down the track. I still have the original wheels to put back on the car so that i can sell these separately  . As Craig mentioned, not his choice of wheels but not his car. And yes another 3dr haha!!

[Vivalazuzu]

Also the more i look at the side of the car with these wheels on, it looks like a Veloster

[Shambles]

I love 'em

[cruiserfied]

They look a treat. Especially or the 3dr.
I wouldn't go painting them. Factory wheels always look cheap and shit when painted.
Black rims really took off about 15yrs ago on the 4wd competition scene. I remember painting my FJ40 rims black on my P's and feeling like such a badass.
