You might want to try a silver or grey wheel with that dark blue. Those black wheels might go better with the dark blue if it hada polished or chrome lip. I have black boss 330's on my silver birch suburban, and I like em. The only vehicle I liked that was dark blue with black wheels was the 96 corvette Gran Sport. Its been a while since I've seen one, though.

Thanks. They're actually my second set of black wheels. I had some centerline 22's that had the centers powdercoated. They came out bad, so the shop recoated the wheels no charge. I then had the lips polished out, and it looked pretty good. After a while the coating started to lift at the bead area, and the wheels started to leak really slowly. I tried about three times to fix the leaks, but after 300 in labor (two tire shops and a wheel polisher), I ended up getting the Boss 330's. I still have the wheels, but I don't know what to do with em. If anyone is thinking of powdercoating their wheels, make sure the place doing the work will stand by their work if the wheels leak.
