Black rims for a black coupe

[Legacy51]

With all this talk about people getting rims for their G's I was sitting there wondering: Should I get black rims for my coupe?

I think that would be extremly clean and nice.....not as shiny as chrome and not as ricey as other ones

What do you guys think? Any particular styles you've seen that are nice?

[BreaKaoss]

ooh.....thats what i've been planning on. it looks nice. sleek, yet mean. i'll post a pic of one tomarrow that i've got; i'll have to get off the other computer. like i was saying, it looks very nice.

i wanted to get gunmetal Volk GT-C's with a fat chrome lip. ooo.

I like Black with Silver or Gun Metal wheels.

Black is OK too, but gives you that painted steel rim look. The wheels sort of just get sucked into the background. If you are going to shell out the bucks for the wheels they should pop out.

I kinda like black rims. Black centers with a polished lip are suuuuhweeeet! They give a "I mean business" sort of look. I haven't seen black on a black coupe yet though, I'd definitely need to see pics.

Get SBC finish like mine [] Its not as shiny as chrome, and its completely black during the night time. Its a rare color,too.

SBC is luxury, SBC is unique, SBC is tight [:I]

This one makes the Night Rider theme song pop into my head for some reason.[dunno]

Yeah, if your ride is black, a polished lip would break up the "background".
Of the pics that are displayed, I think the Iforged looks nice.
But no matter what kind or color rim you get, you have to drop it.
Flashy rims with stock ride height looks a bit "off" IMO.

Ive done every color combo on my black Maxima cept white & those weird red-highlighted rims.

Black & chrome (yuck, stock, sold, BEGONE!!)
Black & gunmetal
Black & black
Black & bronze
Black & silver

Honestly, I think the black & gunmetal looked the best.

Hoon probably agrees, he bought the rims & tires off me

gunmetal or bronze are preferable, silver are okay, black look cheap and less luxury, white would be rice, and chrome would be pimp.

I'm not big on bronze, unless it's on either a black or white car.. there just aren't many colors it looks good against, imo. I much prefer the gunmental or silver look, but when it comes to any styling type issue, such as this, it's all personal preference.. it's VERY hard to find a consensus on general rules of thumb. You have to live with it, so make the decision you can live with.. That's the only advice I'll offer up [thmsup]

I've looked at all different styles and I really really like the Volk GT-7's

Only turn off though would be if I had to alter my suspension to get it lower...I know the guy who has that car does have Tein suspension, but is the drop really that important to need them?

Also really fell in love with these rims

Again a 1" drop due to the Tein suspension...

The only thing I don't want to mess with is internals. I'm not to fond of messing with stock parts and I dont want to sacrifice ride quality for rim quality. To those of you with rims...does your ride differ noticably from stock? Or is it negligable?
