They look good. But I think that a colored outline of some sort would look better.

Do you think I should put a time attack stripe? I could do one with Vinyl.

^ I think that would make them pop alot more. The outline will give a contrast, and make the wheel look bigger from afar. But its your wheels. Maybe someone can photoshop it for you to get an idea.

If I do it with Vinyl, if I don't like it or get bored I can just pull it off. I'll probably try it.

^ True. You would only lose about 5 dollars worth the vinyl.

What are the offsets and what are the tire sizes you are running? The ride looks sick! Congrats.

Time attack center caps and red lugs would really complete the look if you TA your wheels.

I already ordered time attack center caps. No red lugs but I'll see.

They look great but I would also suggest that you go with some kind of time attack lip to separate the lip from the wheels so that you can get an idea of the depth of the rim.

The black lip is great and I'm a huge fan of the GTS phantom, but on a lot of cars it just makes it look like you're running 17'' rims with a 60 profile tire without that separation.

Looks good, I have a OB coupe also and I'm getting my rims powder-coated flat black, it going to look something like this when it's done.
