Wink NBM with black wheels!!

Does anybody have any NBM's with black wheels preferably an SS. I'm thinking of switching to the darkside and looking at getting the DD C5's in black with polished lip.

I kinda like the NBM with black. I haven't seen it in person, and it doesn't look great in pics, but I see this GTI running around that's a color similar to NBM, and it has completely black wheels. I think it looks pretty cool.

At one point I was considering black ZR1's for mine, but then I found my Speedlines.

I don't have black wheels on mine, but I've got NBM wheels.
IMO, Black would look good.

Check my photo albums.

Do a search in the wheel section...this will probably be moved there shortly. Lots of threads about this topic. A lot of people don't like the combo for some reason...here are some pics of mine (looks a lot better w/ some sun and now that my windows are blacked out):

He probably got it from 6LiterEaterdesigns.com. I believe he's still a sponsor on here still.

Here's a link that DCC actually posted awhile back that I've been hanging around in. https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...el-colors.html

Not many black options but those TTM's looks freakin amazing. I'm kind of drawn to the black for some reason too but they always seem just a tad off and I can't figure out why... either way, to each his own.

Yeah, it's from 6LE. CHeck out the sponsor sale section...they are always running "deals" on them...pretty pricey piece of plastic, but I like it. Very controversial tho, much like black wheels on NBM cars....guess I'm just ballsy.

Black or gunmetal look best on nbm as long as they have a polished or stainless lip. That's the route I'm gonna go.

For the second time i'm having quality issues on my Chrome DD C5's i got from OE wheels. I'm currently waiting for them to call me back and get the problem fixed. But i have decided i no longer want chrome so i dot have this problem anymore and i'm switching to black. I plan on having them trade me wheels and upgrade me to 17x11 in the rear cuz this is just BS.
