Silver wheels are better than black, but that's it. If your gonna have aluminum, why paint it silver??? leave it alone and have the polished or machined look.

How frigging arrogant! Look just because you like it in no way makes your opinion better than anybody else's. Again, how frigging arrogant. People have, and are entitled to, their own opinion.

Lighten up, Francis. Read his other posts in this thread and you'll see that it was a tongue-in-cheek kinda post.

This post was more about posting a picture of a new car than trying to start a war. Many people post their new car and everybody says "congrats" or "looks great" or something similar. Doing that is a form of bragging and is somewhat arrogant but this is the place to do it. We all have a common interest and we like to see photos of colors, options and backdrops. If we don't, we won't click on these and will stick to mechanical and performance based titles.
I just thought my wheels looked good in that picture. I bought a leftover '17 and if it had black or machined wheels, I would have posted a picture and bragged about it also. I can't say I hate any wheel color or style. My 54 year old eyes happen to find chrome very desirable. It's the brake dust I hate!
The fact that this thread has almost 10,000 views and 240 posts is evident that the topic is of interest to members and most replys have been fun and positive. I will confirm here that no negativity or put down of other opinions was intended.
We should all let this post die before it goes Sticky!! Kidding. Good day everybody.
