black def makes it look alot more aggressive looking, but even better with lowering springs to go along with them

I'd be careful with black............ unless you keep the tyres really clean the black wheels makes them look a dirty brown colour How about anthracite

RB320 wheels are dark antracite (it's an actual colour), if you want something lighter there's "bright flitter" which is the colour of PFF7's..
