Re: Wich color rim for a Black car
In my opinion black rims only look good on bright colored cars, and for whatever reason, tehy look spectacular on red cars... but only with a polished lip.
Other than that, Im not much a fan of black. Especially not on black cars.

Re: Wich color rim for a Black car
Personally on a black car nothing looks better than high polished or chrome wheels...evrytime I see a nice car with black rims...I cringe!

Re: Wich color rim for a Black car
Black only if it has a polished lip. That one doesn't. Black with a polished lip matches if you have other polished/chrome parts on the car such as chrome door handles or chrome hood pins. If you got none of that, it doesn't match too well.
If you are going larger than 17" really consider a brake upgrade, at least LS1 brakes.

Re: Wich color rim for a Black car
I am not a fan of either of those wheels in the colors you have chosen. I do agree partially with some of the comments above, that ALL black wheels do not look good on MOST colors at all, and can be worse on a all black car. I think that if you are wanting a black wheel there needs to be some sort of a lip, or polished edge (grand sport) to break up the wheel and tire.
I love a polished lip black rim on a black car!!!!

Thanks fellas!!
Iansane - I have to admit that competition grey looks really nice against that red, and the Z06 calipers top that all off. Nice work!

Competition Grey looks real nice. Have you considered Black Chrome?

Re: Wich color rim for a Black car
If the car is black on black, I would go Regular Crome personally.
If it is a two tone car, then black or gray depending on the lower tone.
But black or gray rims would look good too.
I believe black can look good, but you have to be more careful with black than gray. Since the wrong shade of black, and wrong style could look really bad against a black car. Gray would be simpler to go with and get a good result.

Black chrome is one of the most beautiful finishes there is but sadly as of yet its not caught on as good as it should.

Re: Wich color rim for a Black car
I thought about black chrome the only rims I found & liked were a set of zr1/ss style rims in black chrome. What do you think? 17x9.5/17x11
