Default opinions please

I am seriously debating painting my wheels black.I have seen some black Gettins on an E46 M3 and it looked amazing.Let me know you opinion on this.Is it too nightrider-ish? Looks sinister to me.

Actually I kind of like it...I wonder what my L-Sportline Model 4's would look like black also.

that picture looks really good, very sleek and stylish. I love how the lip on the wheels accents the chrome moulding on the car, looks really good!

Dont know why but lately I have been feeling black wheels with chrome lips on black cars! I dont think I could do it, but that pic sure does look nice, how about a daytime pic of the whole car with the black ZGs?

The lip, bolts, lugnuts, and centercap are all setting the perfect contrast while playing up the door and window chrome accents. Gloss black though, keep some shinyness please!!

dude, i'm really stuck here...i know i like it but not sure if i really like it..i don't mayb try doing just the spokes on black and not the part wher the bolts r? i would like 2 c what that looks like too..either way go glassy black not flat that way u have some shine..don't take tgis the wrong way if i saw it on the street i might like it but if it was my car i would not do it...i don't think i made sense 2 anyone but me

u know what elase u could try since u can photoshop good u'r self, mayb try doing just the inside of the spokes on black keeping the face silver or chrome..i would like 2 c what that looks like...too

that is hot

too bad you couldnt get a second set and have that done in black and you could switch back and forth to change the look of your car

i am planning to do that shortly and get a second set of maya black chrome deep lip mesh wheels in 19in as a second set to switch back and forth depending on my mood (also to further **** off wife heheeheh)

but that balck on black is real mean badass looking bro

Well you can scare people on Halloween if you have all that black. Maybe wear a Scream costume too.

But seriously, looks great!

I think I am kind of stuck on my opinion like bluelex, can you ps a shot of them from a bit further back so we can see how the whole car would look? I think that would help.. even though it prolly wouldnt matter cuz everyone really seems to dig the look
