ROH Black Ice wheels

What color of car would these wheels look good on?

I've got a friend who is about to buy a body and redo it. I'm trying to talk him into getting some of the Black Ice wheels, but he keeps saying he wants a black wheel. Something along the lines of the grand sport wheel.

Anyways, if anyone has any pictures of these wheels on a car, or even a good picture of the rims themselves. Please post them. That or some photoshoppers make if they could?

I have ROH RT wheels on my car. The standard painted ones, not the black ice ones. I love them! It makes my car look so much more meener and alot faster than it really is. Here are some pics!

and here is a close up of the wheel


These should give you a good idea of what to expect. Black ice wheels would look a bit darker I think. Maybe you could have someone with photoshop make these wheels darker and put them on your car?

Are they of good quality? I assume ROH wheels are, and what do they usually run in terms of price?

What do you meen by "quality"? I think they are good "quality" Haven't had any problems with them yet. Also, they cost $233 a piece, I think black ice are more.

I like them too, so just to see what they would look like I put them on my car.. it was a quick job, but you get the idea.

Is that the black ice ones? How many wheels do the make in the black ice style?

Quality as in look good up close I guess you'd say. Fit good and such. A wheel that looks like it should be worth 233$ a peice.


I think I'm going to talk him into getting TT2s or some type of Black Ice wheel. What color would it look best on? He wants white, but not sure if'd it look good.

I'll be getting the black ice RTs when i get my car painted pearl metallic white. I think they would look great on any whitish car that has alot of shine to it.
Right now they would look too out of place with my bland paint.
