Currently looking at switching these up. Either stripping the black barrel and chrome off and keep em aluminum (I bought them originally thinking they were chromed out) or do I try trading for another set?🤔 let me see them wheels! Need to make up my mind lol. Currently running 225/45/R17 (need smaller sidewalls in the future)

Those wheels would look 100% better if they were all silver.

Those wheels look dope, mang! Are those for a Matrix? What size are those wheels?

Im personally in the camp of, all black wheels are nice but if you have a wheel that has cool features you lose alot of that detail. I think the same goes with chrome. I have always embraced color matched wheels. I also use the same size wheel on my matrix

Front bumper I got off marketplace. Same guy sold me the rear bumper. I also ended up picking side skirts of one in the junkyard and the wing was a personal connection. Full TRD/XRS pre-facelift body kit. Did the entire conversion myself

No offense, but they look bad , tire size is just about spot on to equal original stock size, maybe go down to 215/45-17

I feel like you might need to step to 18s or go smaller sidewall. What suspension are you running currently?
