Here you go.....car looks so much more aggressive now. I had 225/45/18's for the tire size and really like the ride and the look as well. Tires are not loud at all compared to what I have read.

looks ok, but i am not a big fan of all black rims cause it reminds me to much of steelies. but they don't look bad on yours. that and it seems like you would always have to keep the tires clean to keep up with the glossy look of the wheels.

Black stockers are definitely an improvement! But I really want those tires!

I'm not personally a fan of the black rims, but that's just me. I am however planning on replacing my stockers with 235/40 KDW2's on the new rims. Let us know what you think of the KDW's! The only complaint I've heard of them is they are loud...are yours?

I have the original KDW's on my stang and I love them...

I stated in the post that they aren't loud at all. At least I don't think so. A little lowering and I'll be happy with the exterior. I already ordered the Shark Fin so that should be here soon.

Looks like steelies.

I agree look like winter rims.. too bad tho. Should have gone with a dark bronze or graphite grey but if u like them than that's all that matters good luck

I think it looks pretty good. So far, I think all black looks the best on Titanium.

Love the KDW2's... except when they wear down to 50%. LOUD!!! Not something I want on my MS6. Had them on my MSP.

I have considered the powder coating my wheels as well. I like the look but will most likely go with some new wheels to save weight. The KDW's are great! I have them on my car and they will be replaced with another set when it comes time. They don't seem loud to me but it could be covered up by my exhaust and CAI.

Just wait till you get a few miles on them, then report back.
