Too Much Black?

[Reactor]

Looking for some thoughts on the wheel color. Please disregard my 1st attempt at photoshop. My 2 year old grand daughter was not here to help me. I am working on minitubing the car this winter and will need some new wheels. The car currently has polished American 200s wheels. The dark wheels are growing on me. With the black roof, stripes and sidepipes, is it too much? Thanks for any thoughts. Pictured are Forgeline wheels. Thanks for any comments. Reactor

Goes nicely with the sidepipes I think!

Maybe go satin on the spokes?

if you photoshop some cinder blocks under the car, it would look like someone stole your wheels.

with all black wheels, it's hard to tell where the tire ends and the wheel starts. add polished hoops and they look much better.

[analyte]

Yep, too much black. The wheels are hidden in the background with no definition. Like above, definitely add polished or brushed hoops.

deleting the chrome strip on the rocker pannel and the chrome wheel well moldings will make the all black wheels look good. otherwise having some polish on the wheels will tie them into the car better as is now.

even a simple colored stripe on the rim would make a huge difference in the appearance.

ditch the chrome trim and that thing will look mean!! I guess i'm bias though

[solarguy09]

Well you know which one's i would vote for...

Satin black with polished Hoops.

It would give you some more definition. Now it is all black on your rim..

Yep. Sinister!

[MrQuick]

yeah i think you should go with satan centers too.

I like the look, but also like the idea of ditching the rocker and wheel well trim. The right brakes behind the wheels will be important too. Not just for looks, but performance too. Just my opinion of course...

Really? lol and where do you pick these up from? HELL!?!?!?!?!? lol

Sorry Vince.... couldn't resist

My thoughts exactly. Color match the stripe to the body of the car

Well I may be the wrong guy to ask but no. Looks real good.

I hear too many people say that black wheels are aggressive. actually entirely black wheels are, IMO, the total opposite. they are subtle. aggressive means that it jumps out and grabs your attention. but the all black loses definition, blurs together with the tire and fades into the wheelwell.

I would rather a nice set of wheels draw attention instead of looking like factory steelies with no hubcaps from 50'.

The All Black Wheel does look good.. Reactor.. Try photoshopping both versions. One with all black and one with Chrome..

Also Satan's Satin Black is great looking.

I like it. I would go with flat or satin black on the centers with gloss hoops. Looks mean !!!

[dontlifttoshift]

Not enough black......more black!

[MrQuick]
