I'm undecided, I don't usually like black rims but they suit your car very well.

There are better looking options available. Black rim with polished lip suits your car

I"ve always loved black wheels on cars and they suit your car well, but I'm not the biggest fan of that bonnet and grill. Don't know if there is any other bonnet and grill that fit a XR front though.

I know. But I love the look of the fairmont bonnet and grill, and with a black car the chrome looks even better but as I said I'm not sure if they go on the xr front

I love the xr front but I can't stand that bonnet and grill, my preference if it was my car would to see if I could put a fairmont bonnet and grill with the xr bumper or even a series 2 bonnet and grill. That's what make us unique, we all got different tastes.
Another thing I love on black cars other than chrome is red placed in certain areas. Maybe a red lip on those wheels instead of chrome and also red calipers would look pretty cool but it all depends on what kind of look YOU want and not what others think.

I think it looks good. Very covert.
I personally don't like black rims on anything except a black car.

Sorry, Nay. Too much black.
Would be awesome to see hyper chrome on there though, would tie in nicely with a bit of chrome without the overly shiny blingtasticness.
