Default Black rims? New trend?

Lately i have seen an explosion of black rims. Some cars can pull it off (black with chrome lip).What are yalls thoughts on Black!

My opinion: I have a black sc400 but i really cant see putting black rims on my car

Yeah it was a new trend....in 2000.

It still looks amazing, especially black on black.

i believe boostshakalaka had black on white and it looked nice...As long as the center is glossy with some chrome rivets, it'll look sweet!

I guess accents would be the key to a white on black combo looking nice. As long as the lip (if there is one) is sliver then it kinda makes it look okay to me, if the rim is all black I don't like it as much. It blends in with the tire and looks "off"

Its always been in style. Its just that now there are more cars and way more wheel choices to do it with. I think the combo looks marvelous

silver on black also looks stunning. black wheels in person look soooooo much better than in pics imo, and they look damn good in pics. when i finally get another lexus black rims are what i'm going top try and obtain
