Black rims on black car

Does anyone on here have this setup? If so can you post some pics? I've been thinking of the black Kazera's, but the lettering is yellow

the yellow lettering would look cool if you painted the calipers yellow too...jsut a thought

there are some black on black here...search for them. I think one thread might be called black on black on black or something like that

I was thinking about the black and yellow earlier with the calipers and interior and such.....but i think my theme for this car is going to be "stealth". The lines on this car are so amazing, and I'm in aviation, so it seems a perfect fit. I'll run a search though and look for some pictures...thanks Gambit!

Have you looked at dark grey or a little off-black?

Look for the "black on black on black" thread. That has to be the best black 8 I've seen thus far.

The rims on your car arent black? They look great! As far as a design though Im looking for something a little less "spokey"......maybe something like the stock rims only black like the picture Gambit posted. Definatly sweet though Dark8! I'm looking for the black on black on black thread now.

I dunno folks... those black rims look like steelies to me - sorry, I don't think they look good, but it's a matter of taste of course.
Black rims with polished lips would be better I think. BB8guy, care to post some pics of your ride?

Those are my auto-x 17x8 wheels. I wanted a more "stealth" look for racing. Now for the window tint....

Yeah mine are 17x7.5... they're just for winter anyways.. as i didn't have a choice of getting steelies... but even if i did, the steelies would have costed pretty much the same as the rims i got.. which are "high quality" knock offs by BSA.

I'll post some pics once my brother transfers them off his camera, and i figure out how to post pics

All black looks good I think. Even better if it has a fat silver lip

Black or dark wheels look great on black, but I too also like a polished lip to offset the darkness.
