I like the powder coated black wheels but go back and forth on actually getting them for my car. I definitely like the chrome...prawly stay with it.

Thanks, not even that great of a pic where you can clearly see the wheels & the sun hitting the orange making the color POP!

Black wheels really go great only on certain colors, other they can look Good at best...

heres a before and after photo of my cars ext. mods (wheels, calipers, tint, z06 spoiler)...

I actually would love to wait and see if a good set of black reproduction Cup wheels come out... If I had some free cash, Id pick up a set and sell my spyders to recoup a bit!

I think black wheels look good on many colors, but not red.

i rarely post on subjects like this.; so i will just say one thing. wheels are like shoes....depending on what look you are going for or what look you are feeling....just do it. who cares if someone else doesnt like it cause there is always someone else who will. i have a few set of wheels and swap them out in a few minutes becuase i just want a different look. just my opinion
