Default White car. Black wheels. Thoughts?

Picked up the wife at her friends place on Sunday and the doorman comes up to me and tells me how he has the perfect wheels for my car. I humor him and say ok till he shows me a pic on his cell phone. He then tells me the price which really peeked my interests

I returned yesterday to see them in person and did a little test fitting. When I put them on I was kinda surprised.... They didn't look too bad.

Anyway, Racing Hart Multi-piece C4 with Toyo T1R tires.

Ok, well I do like the black ones more than the silver rims. And I dont know if it's just the angle, but the tires, especially the front tire on the black rims look low. but hey, if the price is right, get them.

I like them

Not a fan of black wheels on pearl white but they don't look that bad. I've seen worse. The lip is what makes the difference. I don't believe the doorman had better taste than you. So it must've been the price, how much if you don't mind me asking?

I feel the same way. I figured if anything they would be a great winter wheel until I figure out what I really want to drive on.

As far as price.... It was very good. I'm not really too sure what these list for, but superbuy had them for 1900 with no tires. I paid much less than that.

Big ballin, buying a set of wheels while you think about what wheels you really want to buy . Sounds like a deal you couldn't pass up. I got really lucky with my new AC wheels. I had my eyes set on some Euroline SL's but they are close enough and just as good. They were a steal so I couldn't pass them up.

i like black on white. i almost put black on my silver sc. but i'm not a fan of that wheel style on a 430. if i were going to go black, i'd go with a 5 spoke design. but that's just me.

personally, i think matched painted wheels look tacky with the exception of black on black.
