Default All black rims on my T/A

Well, as some of you know my rims were painted graphite w/ a chrome lip ( see sig pic) , but today I made an instinctive decision to paint them all black and go for the batmobile look. I think they do look better than before. Let me know what you think...

Well... I usually love black rims but... sorry man, I like the old way better. Those just look tiny and make the car look even more up in the air. Maybe if you dropped it. But the 16"s arent doin it for your car. Throw some black 18s on it and it would look great. Also from the rear they look very thin.. are the 245s? And is it me or is the car sitting crooked?

I'm sure it looks better in person as do all black rims. I've found they really dont photo very well.

Even Knight Rider has polished lips. But I like yours too. Very sinister.

The collectors edition wheels are about the best style I think for a black car. Black with a polished lip would look really good.

I say since you arent scared to paint things... 19" HP Evos. Paint them or powder coat them black and leave the lip polish... drooool.

Hmmmm....

You know what would make your car even more menacing....Drag radials.
