I went to the body shop to get an estimate for my WALD body kit and the owner suggested I should blacked out my Zuber Gettins, He also suggested that I should blacked out everything; brake lights, chrome trims, moldings etc. I'm not a real fan of blacked out brake lights.
What do you guys think???
By the way My GS is Black Cherry

i think it'll look good.... i originally was looking for a Cherry GS to go w/ the black theme.... its enough contrast yet has a very dark sinister theme which I am biased towards.... aslong as you keep the theme throughout the whole car.
if your wheels are the only thing blacked out then it wont look right.. .but I think if you black out all the chrome trimmings it'll look too dull and wont flow. But I'd like to see how it looks so try it out....

I have the blacked out chrome trim and like it. I think it only works for black cars though. Hey, we all have opinions though, right? (ha ha) Good luck. And yes, post pics of the black cherry.

I also say dont listen to him. Too many cars now with the black wheels and I am not a big fan of it. If you wanted to do like a charcoal or gunmetal finish that would look a bit better but I think you should leave the Zaubers the way they are

I vote NO. Too many around now. I would do it only with a cheap set of wheels, not nice Gettins. You can't really see the wheels that well when they're blackened. Nice wheels should be played, not erased. Blackened wheels seem to disappear...making it look like there's a missing space in the wheel wells. Maybe color match but I still wouldn't do it with high end wheels.
