does it matter if they're black or white? heh the jackson song. anyways what do you guys think should i go black with my rims, i have to redo them anyways and i might get them powdercoated, i want a dark finish not exactly black, if i go dark instead of white, post pics of your black cars with dark rims

get em done black man, or either gunmetal, they will look awesome. All black is the way to go, it makes it look all stealth and sleek.

IMHO I think black rims make it look like you're rolling on stock steel wheels. It reminds me of the Hondas rolling around with rims on just the back wheels! If you're gonna spend $$$ on rims, at least keep them a color so others can actually see them without getting right next to the wheels. I would go either with silver wheels with a polished lip, or white. Nothing else on a black car.

PERSONALLY, I feel that nothing looks better on a black 2g better than chrome wheels. They look great when your driving and the contrast looks good, yet not ricey.

If you dont want chrome, go with either black or gunmetal because it makes the car look tight and its a hell of a lot easier to keep clean than white.

White is not one of my fav's for rims, I think they look like they are made of plastic and they look "toy-ish" (is that a word? lol)

Im gonna put on a set of deep dish rims that have black opal in the center of the wheel and a polished chrome lip on the outer edge so you can still see the outer edges but its still gonna be black.

eh, i personally dont like black rims.

>eh, i personally dont like black rims.

Black wheels are ugly. I was thinking about getting black wheels for my car since I plan on getting black hood stripes, but after checking out some F-Bodies that have them, I just completely changed my mind. You can't even hardly see them. Ah, they just suck.

I had white stock rims from a (white) 95 TSi on my car (black 96 GS) for a while. I don't recommend it.

Black wheels with dark rims looks sinister. I have anthracite Kosei K1s on now. I would have gone gunmetal given the choice, but they look great as it is.

Its hard to judge by pictures as well. Generally darker colours dont photograph well.

if u get black or white, only get rims that have the polished lip. I think that's the only way white or black rims look good. I don't really like silver without the lip anymore. I want new rims.

white rims suck, they suck, they suck, they even blow, mostly they suck, hehe, beautiful to look at, but be prepared to clean them EVERY DAY to keep them looking nice, dey's a biatch to keep clean. I still love the stock GS rims, cant stand black/gunmetal IMO, can't see if they're hubs or rims unless you're right on em, although never seen some with silver polished calipers....

IMO silver rims look the best on black cars. If I had to choose between white or black, I would go with black rims. I think white looks tacky.

I have to agree with what some of the others have posted. Definately go for black wheels over white. Black wheels with the polished lip look extremely good, and would go excellent with your current scheme. I have a black ESI and plan on getting black wheels with polished lip. You could also look at gun metal wheels. Either way, I don't think you can go wrong.
