Hmm...

I agree with what the others have pointed out. You need:

1. Drop
2. Contrast between lip and tire.

Nitrouz pulled it off nicely by applying a red line on his lip (Time Attacks). Maybe you should get a silver line to match your car? It just makes it look like you're running thicker sidewalls on your tires.

Dunno. If you're happy with them, that's all that matters.

Exactly what I was just gonna suggest, a silver pinstripe would totally change the look of those rims.

yeah the pics really don't do them justice.. They look better in person (I think) I deff need a drop which I think would make a big difference and the silver pinstripe would look nice.. but i'm happy for now... to each their own.. Thanks for looking!

Sorry you guys don't like them... I like them a lot. I may pinstripe them silver just to see how it looks but I love them they way they are. And in person its a whole different story. You can deffinetly tell lip from tire in person.

Sorry to break the bad news to ya, it absolutely doesn't look good on the car. You have to be realistic to yourself. You can replicate certain things, and there are some that just can't be replicated to have the same look. In this case, IMO, it failed.
