    Looks like a cop spec car, would look alright if you lowered it.

    Needs to be the right rims and the right black to pull off black on black. 20 inch concaves in gloss would work, but not the SS 18s. Leave them stock.

    20" inch concave.... Seen them somewhere..... lol

    Mate I love black on black but for some reason its too dark. I went with a bright hilite colour to bring it out. Other mates have done similar with yellow being used. I used to have orange stripes and that was a wicked look as well.

    Yep thanks Bonners i really like your green highlights, they look sick! I tried the same on mine to suit my interior lighting and it just looked odd, but your ss definitely pulls it off.

    Just my opinion, but on the omega body shape - I think you need to offset the colour at the bottom (wheel highlights, sill strip) with at least a splash of that colour higher up on the vehicle - maybe a pinstripe along the shoulder line - not sure. I don't get the same impression with the grey. I also don't see the need for it on an SS kitted car - but with the colour down the bottom on that bodyshape, the top half of the car is lost.

    Cheers boys for the ideas and images, but i am probably going to stick with the ss/sv6 rims purely due to cost and practicality.

    HSV brakes would look good.
