FINALLY! Black Wheels!

Hey!..I finally got my Black WS6 wheels! I have had them for a few weeks but the weather has been so nasty I havent gotten to take any pictures! Anyway! Here they are! Please tell me what you think. You may notice I have a v6 rear bumper (pic before the new wheels:Here also since then I have added Black Pontiac Fill Ins) Anyway I switched to a v6 rear bumper without the exhaust outlet slots, because I have a bullet muffler and turn down before the rear axle and I just though it looked tacky with the TA bumper.
The Wheels!:
Picture 1

Picture 4
Picture 5

There is something different about this set of wheels! Can anyone guess what?

Thanks
Nathan

I just don't like black wheels. They kinda look like spares.

HA! yeah....you got it! I kept my 16X8's up front and have WS6 17X9s in the back. I just liked that idea..and you really cant tell they are different styles of wheels...the look is consistant I think.

Just for the obvious reasons I wanted more tire out back and smaller ones in the front. In the back i have 284/40 Nittos and in the front i have 225/50 cheapo Nittos.
I guess my wheel set up is a downgraded Corvette style

I TOLD YOU! It's not like you couldn't sell yours though.

Those look good - I was guessing the fronts were smaller - you can tell it pretty good in this pic.

I like the black wheels - it looks great man.

Thanks for everyone's replies! I appreciate your comments!

And if any one can tell. The back WS6 wheels are professionally painted (Discount Tire screwed my original paint job, and sent them off to be professionally redone) and my front wheels are all painted by me. Can anyone tell a difference? I think they look just as good as the professional ones. Not perfect of course, but i am proud of them! The greatest difference is how clean the shop machined the lip....if you could see up close on the front wheels, the lip varies a bit.

CrAkD X 95TA - I got black outs for the fog lights and corners from Year One (yearone.com or nextgenparts.com ) I used tint paint for the rear signals and 3rd brake light. And I got the tail light black outs from a Cz28 member...they are AVS brand though.

THanks

They look nice but they look too small, especially the fronts. I would go 17 all around. Just my opinion though
