I'm a bit partial to black wheels.

depends how old you are, if you grew up in the Chrome era, black wheels will be difficult to comprehend

please do! ive lived thru 5 decades and theres been tru spokes, daytons, Cragers, alloy, chrome, steel, aluminum, spinners to name a few of probably hundreds, but sometimes you have to change with the times and i MUST say that in my lifetime ive seen a progression as far as wheels go. i would never go back in time and put some "tru spokes" or "daytons" on my vehicle HAHAHAHA

Black rims are scream "Boy Racer" and are pretty much as played out as Members Only jackets and parachute pants!!

HAHAHA, you better hide under that chair! members only jackets huh? hahaha, how could they be played out when theyve really just arrived on the scene. look at the wheels on vehicles on the road today and tell me how many wheels you see powdercoated. if anything i see chrome or polished wheels slowly becoming obsolete. now im not saying i hate chrome or polished, i just happen to prefer the powdercoated ones more and at some time in the future ill put on some chrome ones as well. its good to change up every now and then to break the monotony...cant there just be a level ground somewhere? it really doesnt have to be one or the other. its ok to embrace both

I LIKE the wheels alot better in the two top photos!!

im getting the powdercoated black hoops next week for my convertible. i checked out your install of the ones you have. did you get the carpet around the hoops all taken care of? did you get washers or how did you end up taking care of the carpet around the hoops?

Those are my new C5 deep dish wheels that I powdercoated black and then had the red pinstriped in...just put them on a few months ago. Like the 18/19 set up better!

I am going to have Redline goods create matching custom boots for the hoops when they make my shift boot/ebrake boot. This will cover the cuts in the carpet since they will taper out at the bottom.
