white car w/ black rims???

Anyone have pics of a white IROC or Z28 with solid black wheels???

I am thinking about powder coating my ROH Drift-Rs solid black to put on my white 92 Z28.

Re: white car w/ black rims???

The rims will disappear. Black spokes/centers & polished lips will work though. That's how my Snypers are.

Re: white car w/ black rims???

It's your car, I guess you're the final critic...

But I do agree with the previous post... a little something, so they're not all black adds a nice touch so they don't "disappear"...

I saw a recent post with a black camaro, aftermarket 5 point star rims with chrome lip, looked tight!

I had the lip of mine polished, then clear powdercoated...

If those had polished lips, I think they'd be oustanding!

They started out as the gray with polished lip Drift Rs. And I have a set of black Gorilla lock nuts going on this week (just got them in the mail). And the tires are 295/35-18 BFG KDW2.

I have seen too many like that. AND, these wheels are going on my arctic white 92Z in a couple of weeks. Everything on the 92 is gonna be black and white only. I have been saving a set of my stainless emblems just for this (they are getting coated black)

Maybe....Black centers w/white lips, instead of polished then?

I've just never liked the way solid black wheels disappeared in the black tires & black wheel wells.

But...As long as YOU like YOUR car, that's what is important.

lol.... I've never actually been a fan of all black rims, but I have had tons of compliments on my car just in the few days they have been on. People driving through the parking lot at work slowing down to stare at her.... gives me good feelings.
