+1 imo chrome is too flashy and is usually on rappers cars haha

I would only go chrome if it was a first gen since its a classic and looks right with chrome wheels

I personally like black wheels on any car that is going for a mean, aggressive look. But personally, since the Camaro has no chrome or brushed silver trim anywhere (like window trim), I think going with an all flat black wheel with a black lip is the way to go. I am trying to decide between the camaro in black with an all black DPE wheel with an orange time attack stripe to match the orange interior or the cyber grey with the same wheel and no time attack. I just dont think the black with the chrome or polished lip goes with our cars since there isnt any other chrome or polished trim piece. Here are some of my inspirations.

you showed very nice exsamples of when it looks good. On dark colored cars.
and only dark colors. I think bright reds, yellow etc. look ugo with black wheels.

I think you watch too many batman movies.

Black never goes outta style

So.........A 1995 Honda Civic with the hubcaps removed and black wheels underneath is cool? This is the impression I get most of the time with black wheels. If you stand 20 yards away from the car and can't tell what the wheel looks like because they're black, with black tires, black fenderwheels, and black holes in between. That's my big deal, is the amount of money that's paid for these wheels, when the factory's could be powdercoated for $350 and have the same effect.

You are so right and you shouldn't listen to all us knot heads if thats what you really like. you make your own style.

We will all be dead and some guy or gal will be buying black rims and putting a half a beer and a bannana peel in the mr Fusion for more power.

AgsWin · 07-24-2009, 02:49 AM

Hey Vash, have you come across a CGM with all flat black wheels by chance?

I think the vet wheels look bad ass, and would look great on a black Camaro.
