Opinions on black wheels

I need some opinons here. Hopefully over the winter I am going to purchase a set of Fikse FM-5's. I am thinking about getting the black anodized center with the polished lip. I finally found a picture of someones black fbody with these wheels: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...51926648PlPoiO
What do you think? Or does the standard finish look better?

You can't go wrong either way. I think having them black will give the car a little more agressive look, but then the standard polished will add class to the car.

I hate black on 99% of all wheels. I dunno why, it just makes me cringe.

Black wheels rule!!! They look like crap on my SOM car - too Haloween. They look awesome on that black T/A, though.

Re: Opinions on black wheels

I agree. IMO, polished/chrome looks much better.

Re: Opinions on black wheels

The "Ram Air 6" featured in High Performance Pontiac magazine looks fantastic with black powder coated Corvette magnesium wheels. These wheels would look great with my black convertible top.

The article mentions Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-Fiorano 265/40ZR-18 tires but I can't find that size on Goodyear's site. Is that a typo?
