Black wheels - any suggestions?

I'm looking to add black wheel to my 2011 2SS/RS. Anyone here buy aftermarket wheels that they just love? If so, please let me know...I'm not sure what type would look best. Photos please if you have them.

Thanks!

Re: Black wheels - any suggestions?

there is a lot of companies and all kinds of prices... check out my link below to see a lot of different kinds and styles. I have my mind in a couple but they aren't black...

are you into the concave look?

Deep lip?

5 spoke?

Modern?

Retro?

I have black wheels on my car now, they are a pain to always keep clean with brake dust...just a tip.

I started using wheel paste and that really helps cleanup.

I'm looking to add black wheels after my Borla ATAK is installed Saturday. Besides the cleaning issue, were you happy with the look?

i love the look of black wheels. theres alot of different combinations you can do. gloss, satin, matte. throw in some polished lips like jasons. mine are gloss blakc lip and matte black centers. ive seen matte black lip and gloss centers.

I was able to find a set today on Craigslist from a guy 20 minutes from my house.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me find these.

Here they are installed:
