Can i get a black rim thread?

I'm thinking about getting some black rims for my '88 IROC, but i'm not sure which ones i want or what else is really out there, let alone what they look like on our cars. I've tried looking at other threads about it, but they seem to all end with more arguments than rims pics. So please, if you have black rims, post what they look like (Prefferably on the car, but off will work too), and what kind they are, and keep the bickering to a minimum please. Thanks in advance!

Re: Can i get a black rim thread?

Keep in mind that you could paint or powdercoat any wheel black. So just think of design & not limit yourself to what the manufacturers have decided to offer in black. If you really like a certain wheel but it isn't offered in black, then "fix" that yourself with paint or powdercoat.

Re: Can i get a black rim thread?

remember that you can also use plastidip and remove it if you don like it. just peels off. you can also use glossifier to make th plastidip shinny. I just did my GTA golds. I can post when they are dry and on car. next weekend. the current ones are 16"formula rims powder coated
