Is the Blk/Blk look done?

It's been a popular trend lately... but is the look getting beat? You be the judge...

Looks kinda cool there but I never really have been a fan of black wheels.

Hi, Satan?

Yeah hi, it's Rick down here at the shop.

We have your car ready




The epitome of EVIL!!!

And to answer your question, it takes a certain kind of car to pull it off.

I think it's overdone -- and just wait til you park your car next to the curb in front of somebody's house and someone hits it headon because they can't see it. I nearly did that to a guy's car who had black headlight covers, blinkers, and no front license plate. Stupid idea if you ask me.

Re: Is the Blk/Blk look done?

Last Sunday I went out w/ some freinds to eat and on the way out we walked past the Valet and there was a brand new 750Li on 22's(grey/blk) that had blk. turn signals. Kinda trippy but it looked really cool at the same time. That's about as far as I'd go on the "blacked out/tinted up" look.

I don't know about black wheels, but I'm sick of seeing all the "blinged" out shiny "chrome" wheels out there. I prefer them to have the Titanium look.

Or powdercoat, as is always the easiest route to go.

That is amazing looking. Not overly enthusiastic about everybody doing that to their cars but certain car and wheel combos all blacked out just look....so evil it's right.

Re: Is the Blk/Blk look done?

I like black cars, but can't stand black wheels on black cars, and don't liked "blacked out" on anything.

Color me old, I guess.

I hate all-black wheels.

Back accented wheels, done nicely, can look good.... but all-black looks lame, IMO.

Lord Vader, your car is ready....

Don't like it that much. I've always thought that the best color combo for prototypes being tested on the street is a flat black body and wheels, it gives away almost no detail. Unlike the white that GM is so fond of using
