Personally, I see nothing wrong with the color. It's just the black wheels on a blue Mustang...idk it's off.

Had it been maybe a black, red, or yellow Mustang, then I could totally see that looking excellent. But the blue on your car is too dark with the black wheels. That's what throws it off, imo.

I've never liked the all black wheels - they remind of cheap truck wheels because of the lack of contrast. I think they need something on the lip - but that is my preference so do what you like on your car.

I'm not a fan of all black wheels, in pictures or in person.

Hard to say Thumbs. I would like to see some painted like mentioned, just the painted part of the fan blade painted black.

I'd say to the OP, just put on whatever you like. Wheels are the single most subjective thing from an appearance perspective. I've had people post that they dislike my all-black wheels, and in their sig pic they have some of the fugliest wheels I've ever seen in my life, lol. You just can't win really, in terms of getting other people's opinions on wheels. Do what you think you want to do...

I am a fan of black wheels. I think they look great. I don't have the ***** to paint my rims so I am going to try and sell them and purchase the 2011 track pack wheels in black.

I'm not a fan of fan blades, but they do look better painted.
