Cool, thanks for the opinion. I have been thinking of a black rim for a while now. As in the following thread. I have plenty of black trim to complement the look.

Going down a size. Will be 18 x 8 on front and 18 x 9 on rear. I will then be able to run 265's comfortably on the rear.

Do you have a pic? Would be good to see them fitted. I have to wait 6 weeks, as they are out of stock, so a test fit is not possible for me yet. My only concern is brake caliper clearance.

Black wheels look stunning, especially with that silver edge to them, but only on black/gunmetal silver cars sorry :(

I think white OZ Racing mags would look much better on that shade of blue..

Not a fan of white, too hard to keep clean.

That look would say something different to me. It would be the "I'm too lazy to clean" look, and I'm not lookin' for that... :

If you hate cleaning mags that are coloured don't get them. My STi rims stay clean for maybe 1/2 day. I like the design of those rims but reckon it looks a bit weird with a black centre and the rest alloy/whatever material it is.

Not really, relatively moderate actually. Not sure exactly, as the quote was trading mine. But I'm selling mine instead, then buying these. I think they are around $250-300 each without rubber.

just goes to show how different peoples tastes are. I like 'em. the black vs the chrome is a nice contrast, the "spokes" have an old skool look about them, which I like, as opposed to the newer "blade" or curved type spoke. yep, I would fit them.

Thanks for the input folks, I will test fit them when they are in, and see how they look. But think they have the look I'm after.
