I have never liked the look of black wheels, but to each his own since that's what sets us all apart.

You've never heard of that terminology before? It's been around for quite a few years now. Watch any rap video on BET for clues. The big bling-bling trend right now is Chargers and 300s on chrome 22" or 24" wheels. Other gross bling-bling trends you'll see are chrome door handles, windshield wipers, and fender lip covers. That ruined chrome for me so I'm going with black or comp grey from now on.

I definitely love the ones from modular-concept. If I had the money, they'd be on my car

I love black rims. Yet another shot at variety.

Love chrome wheels, too.

I like most all of them.

Perhaps a few wheel I don't like.

Black is SICK!!!!!! But I decided to break it up a little with the polished windows and the pin stripe. They are black...... just not all black.

Chrome is done...... Black will get stale to, but it looks sooooo mean.

all black blends in with the street . you need to have a chrome or polished rim to set the black off . J.M.H.O.
