I'm undecided, I don't usually like black rims but they suit your car very well.

Any body have any ideas?

There are better looking options available. Black rim with polished lip suits your car

I"ve always loved black wheels on cars and they suit your car well, but I'm not the biggest fan of that bonnet and grill. Don't know if there is any other bonnet and grill that fit a XR front though.

I know. But I love the look of the fairmont bonnet and grill, and with a black car the chrome looks even better but as I said I'm not sure if they go on the xr front

I think it looks good. Very covert.
I personally don't like black rims on anything except a black car.

Sorry, Nay. Too much black.
Would be awesome to see hyper chrome on there though, would tie in nicely with a bit of chrome without the overly shiny blingtasticness.
