neither my friend........black wheels are played out and over done. Its a trend thats been killed and is pretty much over, or atleast should be over. Choose something classic, something classy, something timeless. Choose something that everyone can appreciate, something that you wont ever get tired of. Choose silver, gun metal, or brushed aluminum. Those finishes will never go out of style

Damn,,, so brutal.... i dont think they're played out...

I'd vote for the gloss black.

You have it already for a long time in the US. Here in the netherlands it's something new. there maybe 5 people in my city with black rims.

+1 I like the silver finish.

But if I had to choose, then gloss black.

oldaccount · 02-16-2008, 07:34 PM

easy....matte black. something about a black car with gloss black wheels just doesnt look right.

paint the lips too.

jehmarjeh · 02-16-2008, 08:40 PM

Think this looks about right though

oldaccount · 02-16-2008, 08:58 PM

Gloss over Matte I think gives it a cleaner look... Although, those DPE's posted above look great....

jehmarjeh · 02-17-2008, 06:23 PM

or gun metal maybe???

Coming from a guy with 2 sets of black iForged wheels in his past though, so I was all about that. Not hating on them, just think that you should be one step ahead of the crowd at all times.
