Anyone have or can direct me to pics of a (prefereably 1st Gen) Black/grey LS400 with BLACK rims on it? Everyone keeps telling me black rims would look good on my car, and I'm starting to believe them but would like to see and example.
I went to tire rack and tried a couple black rims on the car but its a really poor view of it and I dont like the rims. Obviously how its gonna look depends on the rim, and if anyone has any examples of what rims might look good and fit, Id be happy to take a look. I only want 18-19s though, No 20s. Thanks. Peace

That actually looks pretty fresh. And I like the idea of 18s cause I love the ride of my car, and dont want it to be to rocky of a ride. Of course thats grey but, nevertheless, Im getting the idea. What kind of rims are those? did it require any mods to get it to fit (spacers, rolled fenders)? Oh what size tires too??

Nice

i dont know what kind of rims are those. no mod to fit as the wheel size is still relatively small. tires are 40 series. here's a closeup if anyone wants to id and yes thats a missing stud

i say don't get black wheels. it's already played out especially if your car is black.

Chubby, what kind of suspension are you on?

The ONLY black rims that look good on any car is a black rim with a nice shiny polished lip. Or else it just looks like you're rolling on hub caps. The LS above is pretty nice.

Heres a couple pics of my car. Personally I think black on black is played out but this is my beater and I rather spend money on my other car

With more of a lip on those rims it would look nice.

Nice LS.

How can black rims be played out. We youngins think that we started things huh?

Black rims been out since at least the 80's to my recollection but I was born in 1980.

Played out only qualifies if you are doing it to follow a trend.
Black on black has been around as long as white on white, hence the term mono tone.
If you are doing it to be stylish it will feel out of place quick. I have a friend with a LS that is all black on black and dumped on 18's. I love the 18's on the car over his chrome 20's.
