Nice pics of some nice cars though.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but this comment was so ridiculous
that I had to reply.There is absolutely nothing tuner-like about blacked out wheels. Black wheels are extremely popular on all European cars, from M3's to Ferrari's. Almost every top European tuner uses black wheels on their cars. Here is a $400,000 Brabus Rocket, the fastest 4-door car in the world at 225mph:




Here is a Hamann 600hp M6 with black wheels. Hamann is one of the most famous German tuner and most of their wheels are black:



And what about Gemballa Mirage GT? Is it also tuner-look by your definition?



And what about the $300,000 Novitec Rosso (Ferrari's #1 tuner) F430, also using black wheels:



Some European cars even come with black/dark grey wheels from the factory! So I guess Mercedes was going for the tuner-look when designing the SL65...




P.S. Awesome cars by the way, I apologize again for the hijack lol !

You obviously didn't understand. I love black wheels with polished or chrome lips. I have a set on my Lexus. It's the all blacked out wheel that looks tuner. It is tuner...no doubt. You can call it my opinion if you want but it isn't rediculous.

I was wondering when someone would take the bait. You win!
