Why anyone would pay close to a G a rim for black wheels is beyond belief. If you are looking for that look just buy some replica wheels for a couple of hundred, not going to make a difference cuz you won't be able to see any of the details on the wheel.

There is a big difference between the two. Since a wheels upgrade is a huge step in your car mods I will save up until I have the $$ to get the Sevas S22 or S7.

Looks are not the only reason people buy wheels.

So what, you are telling me you are paying out the nose for a pure race wheel? Whats next, a completely gutted interior? I haven't seen any roll bar installations either.

If thats how one can justify paying that much for a black wheel so be it, but this boy racer/batmobile look will die off at some point.

But in the silver or charcoal color those wheels not only have the weight benefit but look simply stunning.

Hard choice man!!!

Are you a race type guy? Go with Black....

Are you into a dark rim, but not over agressive? Go with Charcol....

You want to be in the classic, OG class? Go with Silver....
