I see. It ok to be different. What did it look like with the spokes grey? Did you take a picture of that?

They looked off for my car not much contrast between the spokes and the rim.

Ummmm, lblack wheels are in no way different these days. Kids yank wheel covers to get black wheels, or is it because race-Kia?

My plan from the beginning was always to have a black centered mesh style wheel for this car and I was originally looking at GNX/GTA black mesh wheels and while I consider the new aftermarket GNX 16" x 8" rims affordable tire selection sucks for 16" if you want anything other than a low profile tire and so I went with this style in a 17" so I could get the same diameter tires

Just a fyi to anyone with a malibu or elcamino the gnx fender flarea work since they kinda follow the same shape as the regal body panels.

So I decided to paint the outer ring on the center of the rims black also and then added some BMR 1.5 " lowering springs in the back to get it down a little back there.

Looks really good. Stance is perfect

I think the rims look better that way. That is going to be a sharp car when you get done.

Thanks, and I agree about the wheels and I think with the all black center it makes them actually look like a 17" wheel and also more GNX-ish.

Any luck with the LED flashers?

I will revisit that at a later date and I want to do more research on flashers before I buy another one.
