Wheel Mod pure silver, opinions!

After seeing all the very cool wheels mods posted on NAM I am looking to do the same to mine. 05 PureSilver, my OEM runflats are getting very worn so thinking new non runflats with ASA A1 wheels. This a very poor mock up, but you get the idea. Any thoughts, comments, ideas? Any puresilver owners change their wheels? I am tempted by all black wheels, but not sure the mrs. will dig it since this is her daily driver. Or maybe ASA EM9 ? My orignal idea was R99s, but Tirerack has alot of better priced options. Also thinking need ideas on new rubber, Kumho Ecsta AST?

How about trying something a bit darker, since you have a black roof, see how that would look.

I went with a different setup to get the wide look yet not too different... I wanted black first but changed my mind and got these with Kumho Ventus 225/40/18

And I do recommend the Kumho Ecsta ASTs. They are a great tire, and cheap if they need to be replaced!

Are they pretty good in the corners? Thanks for the feedback!
Ca$per, those are pretty hot wheels, are they 18"s? I think I am going for 17", got 16" stockers on there now, still not sure about which wheels to go with, any more shots of pure silver with mod'd wheels?

Saygoodbye, thats one hot looking MCS! I like the dark wheels with the black stripes, way cool. Black would be my first choice but mrs. does not did the "tough" look.
