Default Black Rims?

What is the reason you like black wheels? I just don't get it? I guess to me Chrome and or painted look much better but I just would like some opinions. I am not trying to be nasty, I just like the fact with chrome or painted you can actually see the details of the rims vs the tire and or surrounding body of teh car/truck.

i don't like a solid black rim. it looks like a spare. but if it has a polished lip it has potential... it also depends on what color car it's on. i love having black rims on mycar. i get nothing but praise from everyone.

I agree with that statement. Another thing with me is that it sets my car apart from the other "red" GTs where I live. Nothing urks me more then to have the same thing as someone else and just blend in. I have to be different and I have to be me!! lol But, it also has to be something I like. Since I like black rims it only made sense to do it and be different!!!

Now, will I change again one day.....you can count on it....its like fashion, you also want to keep up with the trends as well.

All Black car with Chrome looks good! I can also say that the red one looks OK too but there is enought background that is not black to let you see the detail.
