Sorry, but black wheels (especially on a dark blue car) gives one of two impressions:

"Someone stole his hubcaps and he's just showing the steelies"

OR

"Oh, I see - those are alloy wheels - he's just going for a 90's retro look!"

Or he is too lazy to clean his wheels and the brake dust turned them black.

Not a fan of black wheels ..

Black wheels are tough to pull off... if they are nicely dished with a polished lip it helps - since the lip gives definition. It also helps if you've got a honking brake setup too.

Depends on how you want to present yourself. Me I personally dont like the "hey look at me!" flash. Maybe its my age, Im not a loud obnoxious little kid.

Yea, thats a nice one but I think that would be difficult to execute it that perfectly. I also really like Klutch SL14s and Porsche 944 twists in silver. That is, when I get new wheels and stuff. Fast before frills
