tint for sure to set off the rims and maybe clear corners, but it's sweet. the all black interior is tight.

I find tinted windows to be a big annoyance when I drive at night. It's one of those personal decisions, but frankly, I think it creates a safety problem. Perhaps it takes getting used to, but the few times I've driven cars with tint makes me real nervous.

I think it would look good with the black rims (which are sweet now btw) but, yeah, what he said^.

If you think the tint is going to drive you nuts at night, then its no big deal; the car looks great now.

I'm not a big fan of tinted windows. They tend to hurt visibility.

If you're running black wheels, you just have to tint the windows too. Looks much nicer IMHO.

Tinted windows aren't too bad at night as long as you don't go too dark. It's makes driving during the day much better though.

Damn. It does look better with the tint. So much for visibility; you'll have to drive by feel.

knight7: I disagree. Rims look good. They match enough with the tire itself and the silver edges match the car. -ish. Works even better with tint (unfortunately).

I didn't believe it until I saw it for myself, but I have to admit, that looks pretty sweet.
