I vote NO for dark cars on dark/black/anthracite rims. My E39 looked seriously ugly when I powdercoated the wheels dark metal color. I had to repaint it back to silver and sold it and moved up to 20in Hamann PG3s.....(maybe I just wanted to switch rims hahaha)

i like dark colorred wheels for some reason.. maybe because you can powder coat a cheap set of wheels and they look as good as any other balck wheel on the market.. LOL.. i think the dark color takes away fromt eh design of the wheels.. i mean i am a chrome person so i am 1 sided..

I think black wheels=high performance. I think a stock GS does not warrent black wheels. So I would skip it, no matter how good it looked.

Just trying to help the PDW movement.

Like this M3. Perfect for this kind of car.

That rolling M3 pic can easily be passed off as a billboard advertisement. Everyone's camera-friendly!

I agree, Diablo has a line of black wheels that look hot, and they are a lot cheaper than Loweharts! lol
