Black does look good but the can't stand the glossy oem wheels, they are getting dirty real fast. I'd go for satin black, champagne gold or antrecite wheels

Just tryin to help since you don't like the shiny oem black wheels that you ordered. Me, I ordered non-black 😄

I like me some glossy black wheels. They are glossy when clean. Then are matte when dirty. I like me some matte wheels. Rinse and Repeat.

Fitment was great, 99-100%

You do have to press them on pretty hard in order to make the tabs sit good but other than that i'm really happy with them
