Finally some new rims..

Vellano VSH 245 35 zr20 front and 275 30 zr20 rear. It took a while to figure out what I wanted but very happy with these and how they look. Had the centers powder coated black. What do you think?

...A very nice rim design!!...However, am not into "black rims"--they make a beautiful bright-coloured car looks "hollow".....looks like--there are two round-cutouts....I will only go w/ black rims--only on a black car!

Cheers mate!

Yea I figured a few people wouldnt like it but I am sick of chrome.. And I already have a silver set of rims so figured I would do something different.
I couldnt be happier with the way it came out.

Nice. 20" fits the CL well. And black rims on a silver car gives it a bit of a mean look.
