Not my thing. I like brighter wheels. With exception of tinted windows, which are pretty much mandatory in my book, I can do without the whole dark, sinister look of black wheels, smoked lenses, etc. But, whatever people like; it's their car.

I like black wheels on most cars/trucks. I don't like paint-matched ones (unless of course the car is black too) I like the matte black and flat black looks too.

If going for the blackout look, I much prefer gunmetal rims to at least set it off a little, or the black/gunmetal with chrome outer rings or colored accents.
I agree with blackout for the life of me I cant understand why these kids do this? and we have seen them on Mercedes or BMW's im sorry but quite ugly..

The new trend going around is Plasti-dipping wheels. Its cheap, its easy, if you dont like it, it peals right off, and its easy to touch up. The last car I had black wheels on was my Integra, and they wernt really black, they were gun-metal

I don't like them, they remind me of black sneakers.

That plasti-dip stuff seems pretty amazing. I have seen entire cars with that stuff on it.

I do not like black rims on any car or truck because they remind me of cars with no hubcaps. Give me polished metal or chrome any day. To each his own.
