Black Rim Recommendations?
I have a black 2000 coupe with black motorsports rims with the polished lip rivets. I'm looking to change rims, and I wanna stay with a black rim.
Are there any affordable black rims that have a red outer stripe other than iforged and Ruff 279's? If not what are some other black rims that aren't motorsports, ccws or cray mantas?
C'mon guys, I really want a red outer stripe like this!

I was gonna go that route but it seems like everyone is doing it thus losing its unique quality..so I went with forged Z06 replicas and painted only the center red..but to each his own. You can find Z06 replicas just about anywhere and there only about $600. I give tribute to "Flatout"..his is the sickest red lip carbon rim I've seen.

I bought a stock GM painted set off Craigslist for $100, yes a hundred dollars. Had them powder coated black ($200) and then had the red added by local painter ($200). BTW: you can't powder coat chrome so you would have to strip it off. (That would be a waste.) However you can PAINT chrome and if you don't like it you can always strip it off without harm to the chrome.

Flatout has the best black rims with a stripe I have ever seen
Cray Mantas with the black center and polished lip would look very very good though.

Alright if you don't want to throw down all that money for the Volk's, get Rotas.
