Silver or black? Do black rims chip? 14X4.5 lug pattern w/ 40 offset correct? Doing some final checks. 17x7 should fit over oem correct?

I didnt find any info on the weight of that wheel. If you are NA or will have any inkling in the future to begin to boost performance, NOW is the time to act. Id suggest finding a similar style in a more reputable company, (Konig, Centerline, etc...) and find a wheel with at least a ratio of 1:1 ( inch diameter:lbs per wheel ) IE: a 17 inch rim should weigh in the neighborhood of around 17 lbs. Less is even better! My 17" Centerline rims weigh in at 16 lbs. Before that I had some no name 18" rims that weighed 28 lbs per rim!!! Simply upgrading those 18's to the light weight 17's made my car feel like it had a complete engine and suspension overhaul!
AS far as the style, I like it! Very similar to the Centerlines I have on my car now.
I believe your bolt patterns and offsets are correct. someone else chime in here to verify please....

not to hijack this thread but how important are hub centric rings? I don't have them and don't get any wheel wobble. Is that mainly what they're for?
To stay on topic I'd go with the black rims.

The Black w/ polished look so good on so many colors
Personally I would go with something that had fewer spokes but that's just my taste.
