So, I know the 21s have a limited selection of tires, but I found an offer I couldn't refuse. I pulled the trigger...

I wish these were in the same lighting, but they aren't... the weather hasn't been good until this morning.

These photos were taken at different locations with my phone, so be gentle.

Looks ok with the 21" wheels. I'm just not a huge fan if them. I like the 20" factory wheels but the car needs lowered about an inch for a better look. Whatever you like, it's your car.

LOVE THE COLOR!!!

I do plan to drop her.

Thanks for all of the feedback so far, guys. It's about 50/50. Interesting. I was torn on black wheels, as it is nothing I'd ever think I'd do in a million years. Some of my car guy friends commented that I should black out the wheels. So, I started looking at some Savini and HRE setups, playing around with some wheel designs, and color-keyed accents, etc, in 22s. So, I found out about these wheels available from a dealer local to my mother. They had a Synergy Green 2LT/RS Automatic with Hockey Stripes (rather than Rally Stripes, all other things were equivalent to my 2SS/RS aside from the V6 and automatic transmission...) I held one up over the 20" polished wheel and loved the look, in the show room.

Mind you all, I was going to get these wheels on a Black 2SS/RS Convertible setup originally, but... black on black made sense to me.

When I bought the wheels and put them on, I've thought, "Man, I love that look", to a complete 180 of "Man, maybe it was better before?"

For the concept of uniqueness, I've decided to keep it with the 21s for now. Sometimes I'm amazed by the look of the black wheels. Other times... not so much.

Then again, I am also a truck guy, having had 4x4/Off-Road setups on my daily drivers. My focus with trucks has always been how to get the wheels smaller. It may just be the "rubber-band" tires which will take some time to grow on me.

Thanks for the continued input everyone!

Leveling the playing field a bit in terms of photo quality.

That's very similar to the look I'm going for!!!

I want gray and/or carbon fiber hydographic'd ground effects. I want to maintain the stock spoiler, however.
