i love black wheels.... only time it looks like a big blob is in pictures or when rolling... and when rolling who can see what the rims look like anyway?

I agree...

 

Black wheels - look cheap, like rough wheels used for tracking the car. Hence that is why they look "aggressive". They look like track wheels.

matt paint or wrap - looks like primer.

titanium or charcoal color wheels - look like polished aluminum or silver wheels covered in brake dust.

Chrome wheels - OK if tastefully done only with some car body types and colors only.

 

All these fads are so yesterday.....

 

The only good thing about these fads, is that it makes for a greater variety of looks. Helps differentiate your G from your neighbours...

It looks good on certain cars. When that is the case, it does look awesome!

So the only thing you like is plain silver wheels? And you cant call anything different from the plain old norm a fad. they are just different options. :eusa_think:

Depends on the color of the car and body style. Can't imagine a better wheel on my Chairo Blue roadster then what I have. But Steve Gleaner's orange 6.0 looks great with black wheels, VERY imposing. I think (IMHO) the brake calipers in body color make a HUGE difference. To each his own....

I'm generally not a fan of black wheels, but if done right, they look sick! I think it helps to have a TOUCH of contrast to the wheels/wheel area to break up the 'all black' look...e.g. colored calipers, pin stripe, different colored centercap, etc.

 

e.g., here's a friend's black/modded F430...love the black/red contrast! Hot!

 

D. Wiggs, you should get those calipers painted red on the Murci and M6...that would spice up the rolling shots nicely!

Dear Lamborghinisti,

 

I donno....I always think the black wheels are normal wheels but with tons of brake dust all over them. They just look like dirty wheels to me.

 

I'm not a fan of chrome either but really like my OEM VT Roadster wheel. Satin silver, chrome lip, stainless bolts in the wheel. When I drive by a full window store front, as the wheel turns, the sunlight just sparkles off the details.

I'm not a fan of red calipers. I think White, Yellow, Blue, or even Verde would work though.
