My car is smokey granite mica (charcoal gray)and when i say black rear i mean its 3 piece wheel the front lip (or barrel) will be brushed silver instead of chrome to match the center. but the rear barrel will be black bcuz it shows less dirt an makes cleaning it less of a chore... if u look at the pic u'll see it has the black rear w/a chrome front..

Something to keep in mind...with wide spoke wheels, make sure to have nice rotors and calipers. They'll be highly visible. Good choice by the way.

go with 10.5 rear and the tires you stated are into spec... check out continental's DSW tires... they have the highest tread life and are known to be good in the conditions you are talking about... i live in Florida aslo and the rain is NON-stop here so thats what i would personally go with


aslo could you PM me the price of those wheels?? i might be interested in the 1st pair on that website thanks

Sports car wheels on a luxury sedan don't work for me, but hey, do what makes you happy and suits your taste. That's what customizing is all about.
