Looks nice, though personally I would have gone with a more matte black. The gloss black just looks kind of... off.

Looks good! I had gloss black powder coated rims on my prior car. Looks good except brake dust shows too easily on it.

I think those rims look better black than silver, and I'm not a black rim type of guy.

Are they easy to keep clean?

They are easy to clean but you have to clean them often since the brake dust is ridiculous.

Nice look. The shot of the rear quarter panel is pretty sweet. Are you going to black out the window treatment and front grill trim?

Hold on a minute! You have forgotten to black out the mirrors and the window trim. Not a fan of this look at all, but if you're going to go that way, IMHO, you need to go ALL the way. But if you like it that's all that really matters

I am going to black out the grill soon I hate the gray standard one. Going to leave the window trim alone though. I like how it looks with the side mirrors and the other little accents around the car.
