Rule of thumbs for black cars?

molamann · 04-23-2009, 07:25 PM

Is there any general colors to avoid in a wheel for black cars? I've been to avoid all gunmetal and white wheels like the plague but is there any more suspects to add to the list?

Yea, gunmetal is on the top of my list when it comes to rim colors. IMHO.

Not wishing to offend anyone, but I have seen some black wheels that look really bad on black cars.

I'd stick with pearlescent silver (like mine!

)

I think any color wheel can look good on black (even white if done right). I might stay away from pink or purple though...

I think the whole "murdered out" crap is the most ridiculous look out there now. It'll look dumb on the 370Z in my opinion.

As far as wheel colors, there are tons of choices that can look good. Gold/bronze will look good, along with gunmetal. Chrome too, depending on the wheel. I'm a fan of the wheels that mix black on the inside of the spokes with a polished metal look on the outside.

All I know, is Volks to me are about as played out as Torq Thrust II's on F-bodies, or Bullitt's on Mustangs.

Its true! How many people have you heard say they cant wait to see some nice TE37's on their 370? I didn't know ANY Volk wheels, and within days of being on here I had that one memorized. That one is so overplayed its freaking ridiculous.

AMEN!!!! I F**king HATE that look... To me it simply says "I have no imagination." Does Steven Segal look cool dressed in all black??? No. And he wears that crap in every movie. No personality whatsoever. And when fat people wear black because it supposedly looks "slimming", don't they look ridiculous??? Yeah they do. There's only 2 things that look good in all black:

The SR-71 Black bird and the F117-A. That's it!

Have some personality and add a freaking trim color!!! For God's Sake!!! Give us some contrast!!!

You may want to add a 3rd to the list...

I think the 370z will look great in many color/style mod combos murdered out included. I personally don't plan on doing it when I get mine (love the white). If it's tastefully done IE: GOOD parts, right drop, off set, tires, etc... the lines of the car will really stand out.

The 370z is awesome.

Pretty much any color wheels look good on black. My least favorite color wheel on black though would have to be Mag Blue.

molamann · 04-24-2009, 01:02 PM

Heh I just found out what "murdered out" means(thanks urbandictionary.)

Anyways, I've been a fan of murdered out cars since... back in high school and I didn't realize until recently how much it's played out. Sad thing is I really have my mind set on the Advan RS-D and almost every other car had wheels with similar color schemes(black inside polished lips.)

Some cars can pull off a murdered out look well. SUV's and big sedan's, namely.

I dont think the 370 is one of those cars...its not a ghetto hood rat or anything like that.

Bro wth are you talking about?
Who are you to say something is too ghetto or anything?!
Leave it to the people to make that choice.
Honestly it just depends on what look your going for.
I'd rock the te37's anyday, those are sweeeeeeet but will rape your wallets.
