      Black or Chrome Rims?

      I am getting rims today and can't decide on chrome or black. the vision for this car is to be a mean looking pro tourer. admittedly the black rims kind of get lost but the chrome is just so flashy, i can't decide.

      Not sure how well the black would look against the green paint and white top. Why not go with brushed centers?

      I have a pair of 3 piece rims with the brushed centers and chrome hoops and like the combination of the 2 finishes.

      I was thinking the same thing...how about brushed. If you like the dark centers, I'd suggest a charcoal color and not straight black. Just my opinion though.

      brushed.... black looks funny with the white top and dark car color... not a big fan of chrome either....

      Do it then. It's about having what you like, not what the rest of us like. That's what we have our own cars for.

      AGREED! I was just stating my opinion... but it just comes down to what you want... There are so many guys on here who do what other people think would look good, when they need to concentrate on what they want! Do what makes you happy... if it was my car, i would be putting brushed centers on it because that is the look that I like... don't worry about pleasing us, please yourself.

      Chrome, or brushed that others have mentioned. I don't care for the black at all.

      I like a simple, classic chrome wheel in this case. If you didn't have the white top, I'd go with a brushed/satin finish.
