i actually like the amber look with that color. About the wheels, I like them better than the stock ones, but i was wondering what it would look like with the side intake vents black also to match (it might look stupid I just cant picture it so I'm gonna go do some crappy job of photoshop by cutting and pasting because thats all I know how to do)

De-amber, tint, & lower... repeat.
I'm a huge fan of dark rims. But I don't know if it's either the rims or the color of your car that's not making it flow together (to me anyway). I see you gave yourself S brakes too.

I like the silver wheels, graphite wheels just look like dirty silver rims to me....

I dont care what you do, just never do chrome. A sports car should never have chrome wheels, ever. Polished is ok, Ive seen some Fikse wheels which are OK, but anything else should be destroyed.
