Black on gray...

Sorry, I don't have any pics as of yet, but I think I just saw the wheels I want on my friends car. Unfortunately I don't have the brand either, so most will probably pass this thread by =)

For those that don't, I just wanted to see what your feelings where on black rims on a Ti gray. The lip is polished, as are the "bolts" (what are they called?) that encircle the wheels. I'll have more info on them later next week.

I do know the cost however...$700 a wheel, and supposedly they are made of aluminum. I really wanted the right wheel for my car, and I think a well matched black wheel would look great on a Ti Gray. I just wanted to get some feedback =)

black rims will look good on any color car, if you're into that sorta thing. But that look isn't liked by everyone..

I happen to like it Just not sure if the rims are worth $700 each.

Dunno, would almost have to see the rims and/or the car with the rims on it first. Interesting idea, for sure. But jeez, $700 each? For that they oughta be 10 Lb each titanium!

I'm pretty sure these are the rims. I got the brand from the owners husband, he couldn't recall offhand the model though. Keep in mind, they were a jet black color...I just ordered my digital camera, should have pics up by Friday of the actual wheels.

They were colored like this...not the same wheel, but should give the same visual effect.

For aesthetic purposes, I believe black wheels are pretty gross. Gold wheels on the other hand...

Black wheels will look sweet. Not really into the bling bling chrome look.
