Right now I am shopping for a new set of rims for my summer tire. Do you guys think matte black XXR 518 will look good on the car??
Man, rims down the south of the border is so much cheaper than that in Canada.....too bad I live too far north to drive down there and pick it up
spec : 18X8.5 5X114.3 +35
Will it rub if i lower the car??

I usually find black wheels on cars look smaller, black rims, black tires. There isn't the visual impact was with silver or lighter coloured rims. Maybe black rims with a nice polished deep dish. I ordered all my rims from the US and have them shipped to Hagens of Blaine.There are a couple of places just 20 minutes south of the Peace Arch and Truck Crossing that sells sets of 4 between $500 to $600 USD. Great deals! Check out their links on Craigslist.
