Default Yay or nay on the black rims

Well i have seen a couple of cars with black rims that have that stealthy look. I don't really know what looks best out of these two. Let me know what yall think. The black rims are photoshoped so i dont know how much more difference there would be if they were the real thing.





I have added this pick after a couple of guys responding to this type of look. I will try to add it to the poll

Go with the aluminum!! I hate how a black wheel blends with the tire and then it's even worse when the rest of the car is black. I know there's plenty on here that like the all blacked-out look I just don't care for it.

I am one of the few that like all black with no lip. Do it, I think it looks stealthy.

I would stick with chrome or silver wheels on black. If you want black wheels get some with a polished lip.

I like the all black look but it is a royal pita to keep clean and the wheels even more so. I actually like the picture with the lip, that's they way I'd go but in the end it is what you like.....

With that particular rim the aluminum looks way better imo. Blacked out with a chrome lip can be pulled off wonderfully on certain rims though.

Damn dude, all 3 look good. I personally like the all black though. You'll stand out, yet blend in..

Thats exactly why i was thinking of the black because you dont see it out there as much. I am planning to drop the car an inch and i think that stealth look would even look sicker with the car dropped. I am having a hard time deciding.
