Nay....it looks too much like steelies at a distance...if you want them darker go with something a little lighter. But thats just my opinion

Default Nay

The rims are too small. If you have to choose between the two in the pic I would vote the light. Consider going with 18 or 19 inch chrome rims. They would really set your BANGIN silver GS off!

I'd much rather see you get a drop instead of worrying about the rim color. A drop with spacers would look good until you decide to get rims.

actually they are off an IS300, which makes them 17's. I'm on a pretty tight budget and do not want to modify the car's suspension. The gap is a lot more noticeable in the picture, especially at that angle. It really doesn't bother me at all.
