Has anyone seen these rims in person. I have my eye on a guy who is selling them used with Fusion or something tires. They are 18" and in gun metal, which would look great on my siver jetta. Just not sure if they would look nice.
Here are some of his picks...

Well I bought a set of hyper dark hp evo's off eBay with tires that are 235 40 18 natkangs or something like that. The guy bought them for show and they only have 500 miles on them. Funny thing though is I could not buy hyper darks new anywhere - the few places I know are out of stock for the next 2 - 4 weeks. I cant wait to get them...
