I think for contrast black would look awesome with silver Pat. Do you have 16'' or 17'' rims? The reason I'm asking is there are more tire choices with 16s but it all depends if you're going to use your stock tires. Check Heckler's setup, he has silver Pat w/ black rims.

Stay with 16s as there are more tire choices.

All Patriots are the same as far as OEM rim clearance. You can simply buy 17'' alloys instead of your 16'' steelies. Most people do the opposite as there are more tire choices in 16''.

Good point. I wasn't aware of that. I don't mind the steel wheels, but I like the look of the alloys better. Probably will stick with what I have for now, but I was just curious. Thanks for the info.

I didn't like them either. I sold my steelies and bought Liberty steelies instead and stayed within the same rim size.

Wow!! Great choice! I really like the look of the rims on your Pat! Nice contrast of black and silver.
As far as the opinion on 17 and 16 I prefer the bigger rim as I think it looks better.. It's all in what you prefer though.
