Any pics of B/W GTS with Black Wheels

Simms · July 18th, 2008, 06:34 PM

I've been kicking around the idea of putting black wheels on my car, probably Ifroged. Does anyone have any pics (black, graphite, etc.)?

I'm not sure if I powdercoat my current wheels I will get the same effect. Plus, I think I want to keep them the way they are.

Thoughts?

Not my cup of tea, but then again I have never seen it in person.

Why not try gun metal? May look good on blue.

Either way though, beautiful GTS!

I remember someone having a B/W with black wheels on here (may have been "Matt"?). It looked nice, but not as good as it does on some other colored Vipers.

The B/W scheme just doesn't lend itself to black wheels IMO. If it were blue with no stripes or white with no stripes I think is would look great, but the B/W looks best with polished or chromed wheels in my opinion....which is just that, an opinion.

Black rims do seem to be the rage this year. What about being different if you just want a change, and powdercoating them white? Might look better on a B/W.

I saw a Blue & White GTS here in my area with black rims and it looked amazing. Made me strongly consider removing my stock rims and going to "The Dark Side" on my rims.

But take my opinion for what its worth (not much) since I feel the 19/18 stepped HRE 897R rims are the best choice for all color GTSs..........lot of coin though (why I dont have them yet)...

Matt posted this pic before, which looks really good to me. Now if I can just get him to bolt up a pair of black Iforged Flux for me.

I would like to see a chrome iforged essen with the 5 inch lip on a b/w. I do not think anyone has done this yet.

2MANYTOYS · July 21st, 2008, 07:11 AM

I would leave it alone as well. Car looks great as is.

Thanks everyone for the input.

I think it would look good if you did the rims you have in Solid black and cover the white stripes up with Black ones.

Agree, have the stripes repainted black and with black wheels that would look nutz on blue. Black wheels look best when there is a matching color on the vehicle or if its a contrast (like a white car).
