Black on black is clean... and the chrome moldings and the chrome lips are going to compliment each other nicely. Good luck with the build, keep us updated about your knightrider.

What size tires do you guys think will do these rims justice? I was thinking maybe 245/30/20 in the front and 255/30/20 in the back .The rims are 20 x8.5 all around with +40 offset by the way.
