Default What color wheel spacers?

I see black as an option over bare aluminum. Can you actually see these on the car?

Look between the spokes - they are visible, some more than others depending on the size.

depending on the size especially 15mm etc can be seen behind the wheels. if you have black wheels get black spacers.

+1. also black bolts sometimes look great on silver wheels.

Color of the spacer should be close to either the color of the wheels or the rotor hat. Clearcoated metal spacers match the stock color of the rotor hats pretty well. The only thing you want to avoid is if your spacers clash with the wheel and rotor. It will stand out.

playing it safe (same color as the wheel) always works well imo.
