Depends what its on. I tend to have sort of motorsport inspired taste, so I lean toward black mesh type wheels.

Oh yeah, forgot to say before, I'm 20

My dad thought the black wheels on my car were an improvement (he's 54)

For the record I really need a new sig pic. My car looks NOTHING like it does in that pic.

I think it depends on the car itself and secondly the cars color... Personal preference I guess

But I can tell you me and my brother powdercoat our rims all the time and my dad hates it haha

I much prefer the dark granite color wheels that can be found on cars such as the GTR and Lamborghini's. Not black, but not regular. Makes the car stealthier.

I agree totally.

I'm 17 and I love Black Wheels on certain cars. It's really dependent on the car, but my dad is 49 and he hates Black Rims, but he is very old school and doesn't care about cars so
