Default Black Wheels on my C3?

I was wondering how black wheels would look on my car. I dont know what style i would get but if someone wanted to photoshop blackwheels on it it would be great.

Check with burners. He has (Ithink they are) Bassets nascar look on his purple 79. It looks really sharp. But bear in mind his car is like a driving test bed for his suspension stuff... It's all business!

When I first saw this thread title:
" Black Wheels on my C3 ",
I initially thought .....

but after seeing THIS picture:

I got a whole new appreciation for Black wheels, specially on a Black C3!

That looks like something Darth Vader woulda picked-up his prom date in.....

Looks like it belongs at the race track! I didn't think black wheels would look good until seeing this.

Show the picture to "wireless" in OT, he does a lot of photoshop type editing. He might be willing to change the wheels on the photo for you.

That car belongs to a forum member from a few years ago that's no longer around. I found it while doing a search for pics of 295-50-15 tires.
