First off the Car is Shinka which you know is the Black Cherry Color. So keep that in mind. These are upgraded in size to 19s as she wants a bigger rim. It the wife so no arguing that point at all! Thanks for all advice!

I am pretty much stuck on those. She has decided and with women it is hard to change their mind. I wanted something else all together. But it is her daily driver so I gotta keep her happy in the end. >LoL<

So Black will look good on the Shinka color you guys think?

Normally i would say black with polished lip.. but the black on those falken rims look pretty dull, and almost like the $99 rims you see on ebay.

I would have to see more pics of that rim in real life to be able to say.
