Default Black, Silver, or Chrome? Mix?

Hello everyone,

I was just wanting some opinions on what you think would look good for new rims. Do you like: a) black rims? b) silver painted rims? c) chrome rims? or d) silver rims with black accent?

Thanks for any, and all opinions!

Tyler

There was a monte on another site the same color as yours that had light charcoal colored rims and it was absolute sex. My vote is for charcoal.

Chrome!!!!!!!!!!

Then Black.. Must be a shinny glossy black thats clear coated. And prefer to have the chrome lip around it. Only looks good on certain cars.

I would say silver painted, or polished aluminum.

Black rims are far overdone. Chrome is VERY difficult to keep clean and you need to invest a lot of time on them.

You guys are making this difficult. But it's okay because I love the suggestions.

I really like these because of how they look, but also because of their price! What do you guys think? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price

Black with a polished lip, like what Chris is running on his.
Or chrome, like mine.

The high sport SS chrome rims are nice, even the Dale Jr wheels look real good.

I'd say black. Mike, you say black is overdone, i'm a huge black fan but I just don't like the look of chrome on some cars, and mine is one of them lol.

not trying to fall into the trend, its happening on accident, i swear.

I have yet to see a pair of black rims that don't just look like shiny steelies running down the road. Then you have all the metal and rotors and everything behind it. I just can't see the appeal.
