The only real drawback is that they look funny with spinners!

The downside is you can't tell when they're dirty.

lol...but the real downside is that they are butt ugly and take away from the viper

I've never seen black wheels on anything and though it made it look better. Looks like your a wanna be car designer but your, your only customer.

I don't mind the look of black wheels. I'd choose black over chrome. But I like brushed or polished aluminum the most.

hmmm. Anyone else beside me notice pg. 1 of this post favors black wheels as opposed to pg 2??? This isn't helping me much guys...... lol

ViperCrazed, I'm still on page one here. Are you on an Atari? I had a black bmw M6 (only produced for a couple years in the late 80's) and had the wheels powdercoated black. Big mistake. The wife hated 'em, some of my friends hated 'em, the dog would piss on 'em....pretty controversial. Some liked 'em, some hated 'em. I should have left a chrome ledge like a lot of you are doing. But it is a mistake to the max to have the entire wheel black.
PS I thought I was hot sheet having such a rare car when in reality all I had was another friggin beemer. What was I thinking?

wow thats pretty cool. DEF. need the chrome edge around them

 

[peakcompletions]

They make your wheels look a size smaller, even with the chrome lip.

I have them on my white vette and black looks awesome on it.

I might be biased, but black wheels mabe the old '95 look pretty mean!

Powder coated semi gloss black.
