I would black out the beltline for sure. It's up to you if you wanted to black out the tail light rings or not. But the car looks nice.

OZ Alleggritas 17x7


BTW Blacking out is way over played. Be different.

What's missing IMO are the wheels. Black car, trim, tires and wheels, looking at the picture, nothing is defined, it just blends in. I think white wheels would almost be too much of a contrast, maybe not though. White wheels look good on the blue and red Mini's in this post's pictures.

I'd go with a silver polished wheel if I had your car. If it was black/black, even bronze or gold may look good. Post pics after you get new wheels.

^^Those looke a lot like the Alleggritas. I really want a set of 5 spoked white wheels then having the multispoke wheel. They are easier to clean.

Any wheel can be made white, just not always for free.

Yep I know. I had to powdercoat my wheels because I the paint screwed up. It was probably from improper cleaning. Plus there isn't really any 5 spoke out there that I like. Well maybe the 5Zigen FNRC-01s.
