Not black. Black on black is retarded.


white, gold/bronze, and mag blue are the best for black cars

I've always loved white wheels, but I like them best on white cars. But maybe I'll do that anyway.

I like silver rims on black cars. Give it a classy OEM look and lets the rim design speak for itself instead of just the flashy color, or complete lack of color if you go black.

Try dipyourcar.com.

You can paint your wheels with rattle cans for about $25 (without removing the tire) and if you dont like it it peels off.
The Antracite Grey would look excellent on a black car, kind of like black chrome.

Did you look at the website? It looks really good and gets good reviews.
However the reason I suggested it is that you can try colors cheap and if you dont like it it peels off.

Some of the dipped wheels look just as good as ripper pics above.

Some people order one can of each color and try them all to see what color looks best.
then they take their wheels and have them powder coated that color.
