Which Wheels for This Color-Pics! Alright guys, this is my car pretty much as it sits now in the first pic(taken a few months ago), but it has a black SS Spoiler now... which is in the crappy cell phone pic that was taken today
My question is that I want some new wheels and have pretty much narrowed it down for now..I thought about doing Iforged or CCW since Im newly divorced and have a ton of money to play with ..but I dont wanna drop that much yet until I get my hood and front end and a new paint job for it all...plus im attempting buy a new BMW....so I am contemplating two sets of Ruff wheels..the 280 with the black center and polished lip in an 18 instead of the 20..or the 278 in hyperblack in the 18 or maybe a 19
and here are the links

Check this thread for finishes first. Then decide which YOU like the most, not someone else.

and im kinda thinking the same thing...I love the hyperblack but im thinking they will look better on a lighter colored car and since mine is dark the black would look pretty good..especially if i stick with the black hood, black top and black rear hatch...cause i already have dark tint...teh polished lip would break it up pretty well..is anyone good with photoshop..taht would help me decide

On your particular color I'd go with polished or machined/brushed.

Prove me wrong. Put some black wheels on your purple car, and I'll let you know if a set of chrome or polished ones would have looked better. My list on finishes are suggestions, not law. Yes, you can put black wheels on your purple car, but would it really look better than polished or chrome? Probably not.

and this happens to be the car that has inspired me to go with the black/polished wheel..sure its black but I love the car and the setup..those wheels kick ***
Your car is purple. It already has enough "character". Just because black wheels look good on a black car (duh) that doesn't mean they will look as good on your purple car. Like I said, my list is just suggestions that are common and popular.
But what do I know, I only write/shoot for automotive magazines and am just trying to help you buy giving you some free advice. Can black wheels look good on purple? Sure. Would those same wheels look better in polished or chrome? Probably. It is a SUGGESTION, not a law. I won't be the least bit offended if you disagree, sorry if my typing makes you think so. But hell, I disagree with buying purple cars or putting LS2.com decals on my windows too

$450.01 if they include the tires...
To the OP, the car looks good as it sits.
In my opinion, black wheels + black tires = buying a lot of tire cleaner to make them look the same shade of black.
I've got a black Z28, with stock '99 wheels.
Good luck with the decision, but you won't need it; the luck that is.
