Yeah, those rims would look great. My rims are very similar...Axis NE-0s, except that mine aren't gunmetal. They're polished with white accents. The deep polished dip on the rims that you're looking at will look really good, especially while you're driving. As for your earlier tire discussion, you can calculate it yourself at http://www.superford.org/garage/calculators/index.php

I'm runnin 215/40/17 and they don't rub at all. My speedo is a little less than 5% off (overall rim/tire diameter of my new tires are 5% smaller than stock) according to the calculations from the above calculator.

Hope this helps
