Depends on the color of the car.

For Ultramarine, silver wheels. Not chrome or anything shine, just silver painted wheels.

Black wheels don't contrast the car well...

I had black on my Asphalt and had to change to glossy white.... Car pops now! Panda status... I'm not a fan of black wheels though. Always look dirty n hard to take night shots of the car.

I couldn't agree more.



I find the silver plays nicely with the silver badging as well.

I do love white wheels, however I cant be bothere to keep them clean :-)

Otherwise I'm a fan of any non shiny version of silver to dark gray (including gunmetal and stuff)
I dont like black wheels at all, however on my white GT86 I'm going to try them out, as they may work on white. Otherwise repainting it to something else

I've been around cars long enough to remember that if you saw a car with black wheels that meant the owner had lost his hub caps. If you say anything resembling gold that meant the guy was a pimp. I did like the white wheels on my 911 but I still prefer chrome.

There aren't that many 80-year-olds dealing drugs.



For me it depends on the color of the vehicle.

Times change?
Blingy bathroom chrome wheels were all the rage at ones stage too?
