I'm a fan of chrome as well, and have silver wheels I'm looking to replace. My only concern with black, is the same as a the black finish on a car; unless spit shined and clean, they show every bit of dirt, and wheels get the road spray and brake dust first.

Chrome is too flashy for me. The nice thing about the black wheels is they don't ever look dirty actually. Brake dust is black anyway when you think about it. Anyhow, I was putting black wheels on my cars 10 years ago before this more recent "fad", so I've always been a fan.

Heres mine for comparison. Crappy pic overall, looks better in person.

I think black is good on yours, on others I prefer the chrome. I have a black GT and the guy that owned it before me put the black Bullitt wheels, Had the ugly spinners, I finally got some caps to replace the spinners and wheels are growing on me a little, but still wish I had the chrome.

Thanks for all the opinions guys! Always love to know what you more experienced guys think Im going to do a photochop (a nicer one) with a black and silver polished lip to see how it looks.

I have the OEM version of black with polished trim.

I must admit, I'm a little old school and it took me a while to get used to them.

But, I think on Grabber Orange, all black gives the car a bad-*** look.

For that, you might as well go with a 5 spoke black 22" rim. Make sure it has a hundred little bolts all over it first though.
