It's an act of rebellion against the establishment!

Black rims don't make a car a ricer, and are you talking about rim styling like F14s and such? If so, look at the ZR1. It's as much muscle as your going to get.

I hate those torque thrust rims and others like it, way too old school for new school muscle. Plus they are heavy.

Chrome is for the "G's" IMO.

Please define your definition of rice, because you obviously don't know what rice is.

Because chrome is lame to everyone except for 40+ year olds and certain other socio-economic groups. But the younger crowd? Black and murdered out styles or the new thing.

And that ZR1 is sick. If you think that's rice, you're probably waaaaay too old. Most domestic car rims look gross. It's a shame Volk doesn't make any rims for domestic sizes.

Bingo. They just don't fit well with the new school muscle. They look good on the old muscle cars for sure though.
