Genuinely interested to know if you guys preferred my car on silver or matte black alloys?

Sprayed them myself and only cost £40 all in

Silver for me.

Yes, looks much better. Bonnet scoop too.

Ones with a contrasting rim do seem to work a lot better in my opinion.

Some wheels look better black but it depends on the colour of the car they are on.

[quote=e21Mark]So, to recap, some cars look better, some look worse, some you can't see where the wheels end, some can't see where the tyre begins, some colour cars look better on black rims than others and some folk like them and some folk (are wrong) and don't.

Happy Christmas!

Black wheels "improve" a car in much the same way as a body kit in the early 1990s......

BORED BORED BORED. You either like them or you don't this topic has gone on too long and is split down the middle yawn.

[Blowfish]

I'm not a fan of black wheels, but that does look good.

The thread title should be changed to cars that look good with black wheels. I am enjoying this thread seeing all the variants of cars with black wheels that you might not normally see.

There's been maybe a dozen that look good but only about 4 or 5 that actually look better than they would with Silver wheels.

A few days and another year from my last contribution to this thread and,on mature reflection after studying all the pics, my opinion hasn't changed. Silver wheels look far better than black in every case IMHO. There are cars on here that look stunning with black wheels - some Porsche's and the last posted Jag particularly... That's because they're stunning looking cars to begin with. A TVR Cerbera,Tuscan,Sagaris etc could have its wheels dipped in liquid ste and still look awesome.. but TVR has an unfair advantage

Opinions, arsoles etc.

If we adopt the opinions/aholes doctrine ,Haymarket may as well shut down the Pistonheads Forums forthwith... The Defence rest's

[swisstoni]

I think PH has more aholes than opinions tbh.

Nice OE black rims.

Can you post another 3 images from the same angle?

That would be great :-)

Black wheels, with only a few exceptions, are chav tat.

One of those exceptions:
