Post by: TurboTrev on December 22, 2012, 09:17:44 am: Gloss black, suits the car and colour and makes it look harder. :evilgrin:

Black is soooo common, dahlings! It's last year's fashion colour.

What I don't like about black wheels is that they visually merge with the black tyre. They also tend to look like black steelies without the plastic hubcaps. They also look like you are trying too hard to look 'hard'.

If you want to go dark, go anthracite or titanium, or similar. Gold actually could look good.

More folks on here will vote black. Do what YOU prefer and not what the populace does.

Post by: rob_e on December 22, 2012, 10:24:54 am: Anthracite.

:happy2:

Black is too extreme against the blue paint IMO. Silver make you just look like one of the lemmings.

Post by: monte on December 22, 2012, 10:37:27 am: I do like em in Silver, but they'd look AWESOME in Gloss Black!!! :evilgrin:

I really really like Black wheels on Blue cars :drool: :drool: :drool:

Post by: MC71 on December 22, 2012, 10:55:06 am: Anthracite IMO or second choice, Smoked Chrome. :happy2:

Always find that the tyres get "lost" with black wheels unless you have a polished rim, tis why the BBS CH-R's look so good in black as they have a rim to give the wheel some distinction from the tyre.
