1935, Hyperblack or Silver rims?
Posted by Will, Mar-08-01 03:49 PM


I am considering getting these new Konig Imagines. How do you think hyperblack rims would look on a black car?

I'd say hyper black. It'll give your ride that agressive look.

hey I thought once you go black, you'll never go back. Or how about always bet on black? I have a pearle gray eclipse and wasn thinking about getting black rims. Grey and black on the outside and white and gray on the inside.

I say go with the silver, I don't like black rims on any color car.

Black rims make it look like there's no wheels at all, just one huge wheel well. I was thinking of getting black rims until I saw a few pics of cars with black rims.. maybe it was just bad lighting, I don't know.

Go silver if you want your rims to stand out, and black if you want that sleeper look. People will think your car is really fast (especially with a black car with black rims)

Go black. Black looks so tight on black cars I think.

Black rims look _much_ better in real life than in photos. Seriously bad ass on a black car.

I've got Anthracite wheels on my car (black) now, and have gotten a lot of favourable comments about them.

The reason I want black is my friend has hyperblack rims(5Zigen FireBall) on her gray pearl Accord, and I was suprised how cool they looked on her car. They don't appear to be exactly black, more like a mixture of silver and gray.

Anyway thanks for the input guys. I guess I'm going with hyperblack. I got kinda tired of those stock OZ's.

go with gunmetal at least but not black, one other thing...if your car was ever a chick magnaet, it wont be with black rims, all most the entire lot of women HATES black rims. they also hate colors. girls seem to have the same taste in cars as in jewelry, they love big, shiny, rocks/rims (they love chrome) and i assume they would like diamond rims, ahh to dream...

I love black and gunmetal rims especially on Supras and RX-7s. The only problem with black rims are you better be as fast as they look because nothing says "this aint no poser" more than black rims. When I get really fast I might get some.
