black rims!!!
 

i really dont understand all the craze with the black rims. some wil make the car stand out , but to me they just look like a spare tire ugly a#$$ hell opinions???

I like them on lighter colors. I am not of fan of the solid black cars however.

i understand everyone has diff taste but dont just follow!! lead

I agree, I have never liked black rims on darker cars because all black does is make the rim look smaller and takes away much of the design detail of the wheels. I believe cars need some contrast and lighter wheels on dark cars and darker wheels on light cars traditionally works the best.

IMO, it's a difficult look to pull off correctly. When done right, it's great.

Too many people buy ugly/bad fitting black wheels and think it looks good just bcause the wheels are black.

:drama::drama::drama:

How would you suggest "leading?" getting silver wheels?

I have to say my dd has a stolen hubcap look due to black steelies. ..

I love Black wheels!

I prefer black wheels over silver wheels on any color car, especially on black cars. I like stealth.

happy to hear im not the only one!!! by leading i meant dont just do what other do! be different. the rims has too look right on the car you cant just put on anything for mine i think red with the stainless lip would look nice !! but thats just my opinion. maybe black with stainless lip keep in mind i have a red car

red on red would be pretty gutsy.

Ok, you don't like black wheels! So let's start a thread about. LAME! I guess I'll go to the off topic lounge and start a thread on how I hate tomatoes.

i think i can pull it off with the correct rims!! maybe im wrong. this whole post was to maybe get people to think if it looks right. i have nothing against black rims. but they have to make the car look better not worse

better than the "How can I make my Z beat a {insert $200K + car}" threads

i never said i didnt like black wheels !!!!!!! read before you post

:ugh2:

i never said i dont like black wheels!!!!

To be fair, I can't really understand your sentence.

I read it as:

I don't really understand the craze with black rims. Some people think they will make the car stand out, but I think they look like (ugly as hell) spare tires. What are you opinions?

i was trying to get some people to reallize that just throwing on a black rim wont make your carr look better! ive seen i got alot of tempers heating so . i love black rims

Spare tires being a desirable look... obviously

I've always wanted ugly a$$ hell (instead of ugly as hell) spare tires on my car.

In my opinion it has everything to do with what the owner of the vehicle enjoys. I don't do what I do because I want everyone else to like it. If they do that is great but if not that is fine as well. I like that everyone does not like things about my car versus another. Otherwise everyone would be driving Russian Zils. The one thing is that no matter what floats your boat, its the fact that although some prefer one look over another, we all agree that we like our Zs and we are generally all car enthusiasts/nuts.

^ your Z looks sick on black rims.

:iagree:

I hate wheels.

Oh I forgot to add extra punctuation for dramatic effect.

I hate wheels!!!

Better????

^lol

those common cheap *** rims on TC's, Civic, etc.....gloss black spokes with the silver outline? yeah....people with no style. Typically teens with no cash.

I agreed. I think black and red wheels are sexier:

i have gold wheels on my black G, i agree that with all black you lose the detail but it does look pretty sweet and stealthy if done right

I dont like them at all...

IBTL...

This should be in The Lounge, not in the Z General Discussion.

And really, if you're going to complain about black wheels, why not just ignore or spit at them? If you're not going to have black wheels, then why bother with anyone else's?

I LOVE my black CE's...

OP, you're not the first person to not like black wheels I think it's an acquired taste.

I will probably always have black wheels, I love the contrast. :tup:

I had black wheels on my 350 for a while- I added a vinyl stripe (first red, then silver) to differentiate the wheel from the tire. It's kinda weird- a lot of the times going to a black rim will make the car seem like it has one size smaller wheel because the lip gets lost near the tire. 19s will look like 18s, 18s like 17s, etc.

just an example so you can see what im talking about- i think the stripe really helps make the black wheels "pop".

I will say it again.....too bad you're selling your wheels, your setup is one of my favs :tup:

Weird thread. I guess those who started black wheels being a look, led :tup:

I hate black wheels.
