black car on black rims

Seems like black on black has boomed in popularity over the past couple years. I have a black 8 and was considering black rims and a polished lip ( like everyone who has a black 8 or black car in general seems to be considering now adays) but I'm trying to determine how long this "fad" will last or if its here for good.. but I know although it looks good it sucks to maybe blend in the pimped out civic on 19" black rims with a polished lip yo.... (haha) ....

i think it will be around for a while. There are a lot of people out there with this combination but a lot of them don't get it right. When I mean right im talking about correct offsets.

who cares about fad? if you think it looks good, it will look good in the future. i've always been a fan of black on black and how the wheel color matches that of the body on supercars (eg. ferrari, lambo)

Black on black isn't too common in my area. I get compliments/ stares all the time.

It is the absolute best look for a black 8, imo. Do it.

I think I'm the odd ball in the group...

For some reason, I've just never been a fan of the black rims...

They do look really nice on certain cars but I just don't think I'd ever do it on my car...I must have been dropped on my head too many times as a kid.
