I like the black on black look. I’ve been thinking about having my stock wheels painted black. Looks nice and slick.

Are those Forgestar wheels on the car currently? If so then make the change ASAP. HRE is widely considered one of the top wheel brands in the world.

When I bought my car I wanted the “murdered out” look so I had the factory wheels powder coated gloss black.
After a month or so I was tired of the lack of contrast and opted for some silver BBS. I still love the silver and have track tires mounted on my black wheels and after track day don’t waste anytime putting the silver ones back on.

I like the black murdererd out look better or at least with a silver lip for contrast. Here's picture of my stock Techart wheels, black with silver lip. And then my track wheels are silver but I'm having them powder coated gloss black this winter.

anything but black. Black wheels is overdone and in the vast majority of real world lighting situations just looks like a shadow and completely hides the details of the wheel or the separation of the wheel from the tire.

black wheels are for hiding stockers or the previous owners poor taste, not highlighting hre's.
