Default Black Multi-Piece Wheels on Guards Red C4S

I swapped wheels with a friend of mine. Black on black wheels might not be for everyone but I love it, especially with the stepped lip!

I like your silver Work wheels better.

I almost went with black wheels for my red (Orient) car too. Played with the combination on the Tirerack visualizer thingy. I think they are kind of cool, and I am sure even look better in real life. Hard to take photos of black.

No that's me. I had the silver Works before. Deep inside, I really want black like how I had my black OEM twists...and when this set came up with the stepped lip, I just had to do it.

I definitely recognize that all black wheels is not for everyone.

The car is looking clean!

- its hard to really "see" the black from the pics... but I like it a lot, esp with the wheel fasteners in silver...

Car has a menacing look now...pretty cool, I like it. Are those racing tires? They look bold from the last pic, maybe due to the angle of the shot.

That's a nice change Arnee. The black wheels do look menacing compared to the silver wheels.

Arnee, the most important thing is being happy with them. And you seem to be proud

I don't like them very much, because my taste is very classic, and prefer OEM wheels, but the final look black glasses -red paint - black wheels is awesome and very sporty

Nice turbo front lip too
