I agree, I have never liked black rims on darker cars because all black does is make the rim look smaller and takes away much of the design detail of the wheels. I believe cars need some contrast and lighter wheels on dark cars and darker wheels on light cars traditionally works the best.

IMO, it's a difficult look to pull off correctly. When done right, it's great.

Too many people buy ugly/bad fitting black wheels and think it looks good just bcause the wheels are black.

How would you suggest "leading?" getting silver wheels?

I prefer black wheels over silver wheels on any color car, especially on black cars. I like stealth.

otftrble · 02-16-2011, 03:23 PM

happy to hear im not the only one!!! by leading i meant dont just do what other do! be different. the rims has too look right on the car you cant just put on anything for mine i think red with the stainless lip would look nice !! but thats just my opinion. maybe black with stainless lip keep in mind i have a red car

Red__Zed · 02-16-2011, 03:25 PM

red on red would be pretty gutsy.

Ok, you don't like black wheels! So let's start a thread about. LAME! I guess I'll go to the off topic lounge and start a thread on how I hate tomatoes.
