I think it looks great! Would look silly on my Daytona Blue, but black n' orange is a great combo. Specially here in Cincinnati :)

I don't know if I'd go with those rims in particular, just used those to get an overall idea of the look. I don't want to powdercoat the stock rims because I like the look of the black, with the polished lip. The stock rims don't actually have a 'lip' per se. Where the spokes meet the edge, everything is flush, and I think trying to make it appear to have a polished lip wouldn't look right. I actually love the SS wheels, btw, just want to change the look.

I like the polished lip because it kind of carries out a theme in the car...the badges are black with a chrome edge, the bowties are black with a chrome edge.

Sorry, but as a SOM owner, I say no. Looks too much like Halloween for me. Besides, I like how the SS looks stock...I wouldn't want to change the wheels.

Just another one with the stock wheels blacked out...I'm not the best with photoshop, so I ended up blacking out the rotors and everything between the spokes.

For me, there's hardly any chrome left on the car, and the wheels are big splashes of chrome. Plus, it seems the majority of SS owners don't change the wheels. I'd like to make mine, well, mine.

I do love the SS wheels, though.

i love the black ADR Propulsions, but just not on a SOM. I've wanted those for awhile for my own, but a bit hard to find now.

Do it! The black w/ chrome lip would look good on your SS.
