Re: black wheels yay or nay
I agree with the above. White wheels on a white car are far less dramatic.

1 chrome
2 aluminum
3 rust
4 black
but your using black as kind of an accent so it works well, but i hate all black wheels.
91interceptor, those wheels look great with a black accent. also the 91-92 z28 wheels. the wheels in the first picture, i think look good with a light silver, and the rim (bead area) around the wheel and 10 spokes going to the center polished aluminum.

Re: black wheels yay or nay
I have to admit that I am not usually a fan of black wheels...
Looking at the pics they do stand out w/ the white body - looks good...
Put me down for Black as well!

I like the white better. The black wheels give it more of an old beat up look. The white wheels give it a fresh new look and makes the car look new.

Re: black wheels yay or nay
When my car was red I was all about black wheels. Then I did a color change and painted my car white. I kept the same black wheels on it. To me it just doesn't have the same appeal. The black wheels to me make my white car look plain and cheap. I was considering painting them back to gold like they were originally, but then I saw a pic of a white TTA with the white crosslace wheels.
.....Mine are going white.
IMO, black wheels look good on just about every color car except white. There are a few exceptions, there are a select few white cars that look good with black, but most look like a cheap base model.

Black - Unless your a stock **** , it sets the car apart. There is a guy running around here in El Paso, with a white thirdgen RS V8 with a paint scheme similar to the old highway patrol (black and white) with those rims that always catches my attention. I like black rims.

Re: black wheels yay or nay
thnks guys for the comments. and i plan on going aftermarket within the year. and its not a stock car. has built 355 sbc. with the 275 60 r15 in the back it looks pretty mean and i think the black wheels just set it off more.
