I think they look absolutely horrible. I have never been a fan of black wheels but that takes the vote for worst ever.

Re: Painted 91-92 Z28 rims = sex

i think they look good, only thing i would change is the indented accents i would have taped off so they still look like polished aluminum, then the center caps aluminum and the outer lips aluminum would *flow* know what im saying?

Re: Painted 91-92 Z28 rims = sex

They need to be bigger and the car lower and the centers matched and polished accents.... Then it might be OK, but I'm not big on black wheels.

If you painted the centers it would look WAY better.
