Let me see your black wheels!

I think black wheels are overplayed, but since my car color combo is deep red with gold and black decals... Im somewhat in a pinch for some good wheels. Chrome just seems too clashy with the gold accents. Grey is out! Polished is in the same boat as chrome... So I am looking for some ideas for wheels.... I would especially like to see some black 17 or 18" iroc's... Im not sure if black would do okay with the lines.

Post a picture so we can see the car in question. The color combo seems interesting. Maybe someone will do a photo shop for you.

Re: Let me see your black wheels!

Here's my new setup, which is still a work in progress. I'm still trying to decide whether to like it or hate it. Either way it's on it's way to holding its own on the street with 18" rims on the rear and 17" on the front.

Next I'm putting a 10-bolt rear in from a 4th gen Camaro SS. Maybe painting the calipers red will improve the look. I'm getting rid of the blue lugnuts too. Can't decide on black or chrome!

Also, one thing I am noticing as I go day to day looking at other black wheels is that they look good in low light IMO. Still part of me wishes I would have gone with the chrome version of these Z06 replicas.

Need new pictures. I've tinted the windows and lowered the car since this picture.

I really do like the red line.. I was thinking about doing that for my black formulas or a gold line...

The color combo is stock... Just a deep red IROC with gold and black trim.
As you can see, there is not much of an option for rim colors.

Nice choice of wheels LOL Mine are going to be gold soon, the clear coat on 2 of them is all messed up and they didn't even see road salt.

Here's my latest wheel project
