My new black wheels on Meteor Grey

I just put on my new black OZ wheels on my car. Took a couple of quick pics in the garage.. not the greatest pics though

I know a couple of people were interested in black wheel pics on meteor, so here they are...

OZ wheels look pretty good on the meteor turbo but the only thing that is stopping it from looking 10 out 10 is the ride height, as I find it to sit pretty high for a sports car.

I highly reccomend you to invest in some nice lowering springs such as techart, which will make it look marginally lower and ride stiffer giving you more control and feedback.

Congratulations on the new wheels, you have clearly went for a good wheel manufacturer that is reasonably priced.

Thanks MeanMachine! Only problem with lowering is I have a really steep driveway. Currently, I scrape everytime I pull out of the driveway. I can't even imagine what would happen to the car if I lowered it

Sorry to hear about that as it would really look fantastic with a set of lowering springs, then again what else you could do.

Once again congradulations on the new wheels and enjoy the new look.

that color combo is sick, i'm not a fan of silver(s) but that with black wheels might have me changing my mind

really like the wheels but i was never quite warm up to the black color (i know, black wheels are popular). i guess it's more of a personal preference. from a distance, you would think those expensive wheels were parts of the tires.

Looks good. Spacers in the rear would help even if you can't lower it due to your driveway.
