I like them but here is my interjections:
1. Isn't that a spa yellow??
2. When you color match like that you are inadvertantly putting yourself in a "wilder" class of modification. Most cars that color match thier wheel Murcielagos, Gallardos, other super exotics and trailer queen show cars do so because they can.
It is still perfectly fime IMO to do this but people may be expecting some serious ICE and other "baller" type mods to go along with the rims. IMO this type of mod is usually the "finishing" touch on a sick wild car.
I like them and keep in mind, most these people who are blasting them would have no problem with a Berlina Black with black Spoon rims or other powder coated type rim. It is just a bright color match instead of a darker one.

2. Yeah, but so do other things that people add. I'll give him a
for being creative.Reminds me of the older viper wheels that they painted yellow. Only those were on a red car.
Probably wouldn't do it myself, but then again I also said I'd never buy a yellow car.

Not my thing, but I never liked color matched wheels, even black on black. I don't much like black wheels on anything, doesn't set them off from the tires enough, but that's not a problem here. Personally tho, I can see why you did it, I want to do something with my rims to get away from the easily damaged OEM wheels. Powdercoat probably, but what color is a killer choice.

Hmm, after I read the first post I thought this was one of those "trick" photoshop posts. I kept scrolling down, reading and waiting for the "OK, I photoshopped it just to see what people would say" post. It never came....
Since you asked, not for me at all either. But as long as you like it, I guess that is all that really matters.

It looks very LA... Do your thing man.. Smash everybody in the head with your Rio. That's what it's for... Big Bird shit, disgusting... Nobody can say anything... It makes them and their girlfriends look, and look some more on the doulbe take.... I love it.
Same as when a married man looks at female he would love to have but can't.... "Honey look at how she has her ass and boobs hanging out, that rediculous.."
Yeah Right.... You wish.
