I think it works, though I went for graphite on mine.

I thought about having black wheels on mine too, But decided that they worked on every colour monaro except silver.

Hi Jason,

I notice you haven't got a race number for next year. Do you want one. I assume you will want to go back when you've got the SC onboard???

No doubt I'll be in the minority, but I think it looks horrible. I've said before on another thread that the darker the wheel, the more the design of the wheel is lost and the car just ends up with a dark blob on each corner. I went for a darker shade of silver than the original on my car, and may go darker again at some point, but still something that contrasts with the tyres rather than blending in with them.

I tend to agree, I have been trying to find a pic of a regular car with pressed steel black wheels which sit behind nice shiny plastic wheel trims. looks like something is missing imho. But on a black car, now thats a different matter.
BTW Wormus did some photoshops of darker colours on an odyssey a while back and again imho they all looked crap. Keeping my brake dust grey colour on mine.

I had mine done black on a silver VXR had lots of comments from people who approve, have to clean them more regularly than I had hoped though.

Erm, probably... that's for Shakespeares isn't it?
The blower is on now... and some more tyres
Weather is dreadful now though, so highly entertaining!
Sorry to hijack your thread!

Now you come to mention it - Blimey! 27k miles - it's hardly worn in!
Now i KNOW I can never sell mine

I posted about that car below somewhere. The ad omitted a few things that make me wonder what the rest was like - gearbox replacement being the stand out one. Why not mention that???? It had only been serviced once too.
