Default Post pics of black wheels

I've searched on here but couldn't really find anything. I haven't really seen black wheels on an F-body so I wanna see what it looks like because I want some new wheels and I'm kinda thinking about black ones since no one really has them and I want to be different.. Color of the car doesn't matter... Thanks.

in my own personal opinion, black rims are somewhat tricky to get right on a car, especially a black one. of the pics posted here, the 'vette looks awesome with them, but only because it has the red calipers and the silver lip on the rims to break up the monotony of the "blackness"....if the calipers and the lips of the rims were all black, i don't think it would look nearly as good.

next up is the red camaro at the top....the black wheels go good with the black racing stripes, and they also have something to break up the "black", i.e., the silver lips and center caps.

mike's02ls1, no offense intended, but yours would (in my own opinion) look better with at least the silver lip, if not the lip & center caps.

but to anyone that wants to change rims, it all boils down to what makes YOU happy....after all, you are the one that bought them to enjoy them, and it will be you driving it.

I go for the all black look...I think a silver/polished lip breaks up the look too much

I don't know what I like better. The all black, or with the polished lip.... Decisions, decisions.
