thoughts on black wheels on black cherry

slm37 · 11-06-2011, 02:33 AM

got a black cherry 370z roadster a few months back. i've been wanting to do the black car/black wheels look for a whlie, but ended up with black cherry instead. the Rays are too beautiful to give up, so i was probably going to just powdercoat them.

anyone seen this before/have any thoughts on it?

Look like "Knight Rider K.I.T.T."

I've been thinking about doing the same to my Black Cherry Z.

Here is a pic of my Z I photoshopped to get the basic idea of what it would look like. I like it.

Obviously, this comes down to personal choice. Since you asked for opinions, I'd say no.

My reason is that Black Cherry is such a classy, non-aggressive color that black rims would really take away from it. The silver Rays really compliment the color.

I saw my first Black Cherry 370Z in person yesterday, and it was gorgeous.

Ultimately, it's your car and your decision. Good luck with your choice!

Not my cup of tea.

I like it, BUT I also think you have to do the door handles, because they look out of place being the only silver thing.

Doesn't go. Black rims aren't for every car.

Skeeterbop · 11-06-2011, 03:18 PM

I think bronze/gold would look great on a black cherry.

also agreed.

if you do go with black rims, I think you need to go glossy rather than matte against black cherry.

This exterior color just doesn't go well with dark rims.

Montez · 11-06-2011, 03:48 PM

Naaw, just leave them silver! Those black coated rims go better with lighter color cars even then doesn't fit them all.

I think you need to stick to brighter colors like has been said already. I also agree that gold/bronze might look good with BC. It definitely is a classy color so you've got to choose wheels that work with that theme. Black is too aggressive/racer-ish IMO.

I actually think it looks good, if you get the right wheels though:

Those are bronze iirc.

Z_bro (spelling?) has black cherry painted rims, and those look good, because the rest of the car is cherried out.

I think that unless you're going to change out the headlights, door handles, side markers, etc, you probably want to stick with silver. But to each their own.
