There is a third type of person. The coolest one of the three. The person who likes black wheels when they are installed on the right vehicle. The person who knows that black wheels don't always look good on every car of every paint color.

Exhibit A: My cars.

FYRARMS- The wheels on your silver car are very nice....my favorite look, black center, polished rim. No comment on the blue car wheels.

I am not a fan of black wheels either, but I can't say they look bad on your car. You have a sharp looking ride.

Looks good!
Lower it a bit and add 3-5mm spacers to bump out the tires slightly. That'll MAKE it.

Black wheels are popular these days, I don't know why, but they are. Yours don't look as bad as some of the others I've seen, but I'm a chrome wheels guy...as long as you enjoy them, that's what matters...
