I don't feel that all black rims does IBM justice at all, but with polished lips the combo looks good.

I think with just about any 20-22" wheels (or even 18's if you get the right tire and lowering kit) you're going to have a hard time finding a wheel that doesn't look good. There are exceptions, of course.

Some feel there is no contrast.. I have struggled with this as well.

High gloss black like Mindz has, looks great. But a big factor in that is the wheel/spoke design. I don't think a 5 spoke wheel stock wheels plastidipped or even in high black looks very good on IBM.. I think that looks a lil cheap in photos, BUT I do concede I have never seen it in person and of course it only matters what makes you happy...

I think the mesh design of the TSWs and F14s look great however...which will probably be the route I go.

Im thinking the tsw donnington or the nurburgring matte black.. but than again idk how the matte finish would look. for any other camamro color i like the matte but for IBM the gloss is what ill need. Or the f14's but those are very pricey but i think theyll be worth it. ive seen someone with IBM f14 gunnmetal finish and it looked great but im looking more for the black so maybe f14 matte black

I think the black wheels look good on all but white and maybe black. JMO. I like it the most on the blue and sgm.

same.. I like the gunmetal, it does look good with IBM but it is not the look I am going for either..

To the poster above, black wheels look EXCEPTIONAL on white.
