Me dont like black!
 

I been trying to like the black wheels but it doest seems too look good on my Z cu'z everytime i see a car with a blacked out rims specially from a distance it looks like the person got a flat tire and use a set of four spare tires. The car looks dull and lacking dimensions and details but then i think it's just me . I also asked my wife if i pait my rims with a flat black and she say dont ever do it as the car will look ugly and cheap.

Am i really the only one who dont like blacked out rims, headlight, badge etc. as it seems like most members here prefered black than the traditional silver paint.:rolleyes::confused:

both my cars have matte black wheels... needless to say I am a fan!

Enter gunmetal


Bronze!!!!!!!!


:rock:

perfection :tup: well, at least on my Weds. :icon17:

I'm not a fan of it myself.

Ya black wheels are kinda played a lot of people have them. I think black wheels are fine but perfer silver, polished wheels. If you dont like black wheels then don't do it if your writing this.

the stock wheels look good in the factory color. this includes the 40th wheels in its distinct darker color.

it really depends on the design

gunmetal is definitely sweeter than most colors.
I prefer gold and bronze.

:iagree:

On certain cars, I think black wheels can look OK. Normally this is only on lighter colored cars where the black wheels contrast more with the light color of the car. But I am not a fan of them most of the time, it makes the wheels look smaller, harder to maintain, and takes away from the design of the wheels. Bronze is a great color for wheels.

And everyone around socal has blacked out wheels. I even see grandpas/grandmas driving around with blacked out wheels, so played out.

:icon18:

haha! So true! I personally do no like blacked out rims... you cannot even notice the design of blacked out rims until you are really up close. In pictures, it looks like just a car with a huge gap where the wheels are supposed to be. I personally like polished or gunmetal color. the OEM color of the sport and and base rays are amazing as well :) :rolleyes:

how are black wheels played out? when its still not stock... thats like saying having an exhaust is played out.. idk maybe I dont get the "played out" thing.

That's like saying drinking beer is played out.

YES!! this!!!!

Not a fan of black rims and would not put it on my car, but I have seen a few that I thought looked okay.

"Everyone's doing it" = trendy = no longer edgy = played out.

I'm not sure if black wheels are played out yet, but give it 15 minutes or so. :p

I'm a fan of them, especially if the wheels are for the track.

i think the general public prefers silver wheels...

when i ran my weds (gunmetal) only greasy doods looked and :tup:
when i ran my silver factory wheels, different kinds of people looked and smiled.

An expample of played out exhaust would be the honda civic with the loud fart can exhaust thats played out. But a nice high end quality exhaust thats a different story.

Is drinking water played out? or going to the movies? or waking up for work in the morning? I mean people have been doing lots of things for 100s of years that arent "played out" Now if every single car had black wheels, then maybe you could say thats played out... other than that I dont agree at all. Either way I <3 my black wheels

I really like some of the blacked out ones that i have seen-but not all by any means-just love the individuality of each Z...THAT is the great part! To each his own-if YOU love it-wow! I will too!:tup:

terrible- he's just being sarcastic. :D

yea i just re-read that and now I look like a d!ck hahah im ready to get off work...

This.

Another rim I see alot is the black with the polish lip. If i had to go black i would go matte over gloss.

:hello:

:tup: its all good-

Agree with all black color rims got no dimensions. That's why I went with Gunmetal Ti color...:tup:

I personally don't like black wheels either. The stock color looks great IMO. Gunmetal and bronze also have their own characters.

bronze tsw's specifically :tup:

Matte black with polished barrell is delicous...

Having round weels is played out. I ride around on cubes brah!:driving:

my friend has this setup on his charger and its awesome

:bowrofl:

Your wife sounds like the sensible one...listen to her.

:bowrofl:

gloss black superlaps here so obviously I'm a fan. I could have gone with either matte or gloss finish but wifey prefered gloss. :tup:
