i have gold wheels on my black G, i agree that with all black you lose the detail but it does look pretty sweet and stealthy if done right

I dont like them at all...

IBTL...

This should be in The Lounge, not in the Z General Discussion.

And really, if you're going to complain about black wheels, why not just ignore or spit at them? If you're not going to have black wheels, then why bother with anyone else's?

I LOVE my black CE's...

Darth Vader does not approve of this thread:

OP, you're not the first person to not like black wheels I think it's an acquired taste.

I will probably always have black wheels, I love the contrast.

I had black wheels on my 350 for a while- I added a vinyl stripe (first red, then silver) to differentiate the wheel from the tire. It's kinda weird- a lot of the times going to a black rim will make the car seem like it has one size smaller wheel because the lip gets lost near the tire. 19s will look like 18s, 18s like 17s, etc.

just an example so you can see what im talking about- i think the stripe really helps make the black wheels "pop".

I will say it again.....too bad you're selling your wheels, your setup is one of my favs
