The color definitely stands out if that’s what you were going for. Does anyone know why Sport Max changed to XXR? ---

Not really feeling those rims. I think it’s because the blue on the rims doesn’t go with the color of your car. Just my 2 cents. ---

IMO to pull off a wheel like that you need to have alot of other cosmetic mods, it’s a visually extreme wheel, on a basically stock sedan :rofl ---

color matched could be epic ! is the tire size a little off, or are my eyes deceiving me?? the sidewall looks funny… anyways, car looks nice… I think it just needs to be tweaked a little bit to pop ---

i guess you’d have to see the car in person to get the full effect of the colors. i know from experience that colors can look crazy in pics and not really show how they look in person ---
