What do you think shiny finish black wheels would look like on a Diamond Black cab? (pre-facelift)
Gay/chav/OK ??

I had bad condition (kerbed) TSW's and got the orbital sander out,... reshaped them and only had black paint spare.. once the calipers were painted.. I don't think they look half bad...

They look good on older BMWS - what size were you thinking of 16s tend to look best in my opinion..

Black colour will make em look smaller, i'd suggest silver ones. Maybe it's worth trying to paint em in photoshop? I can give you link to the site with tutorials on how 2 do it.

When the car is on the move black alloys look like steel ones.

I've blacked the spokes on my 15" BBS's and lke the look, I'vehad a lot of positive comments.
the only downside is that all the barry boys seem to be sticking wheels with black centers on shite like Corsa's etc.

I think if the cab is black then black wheels will look even better than the standard alloy colour. I saw this MԚ£ cab in ebay with black BBS and it looked great.
Andy:
A couple of days ago you gave me the rack saying that the 320 is gutless and has crap consumption ?? You did't answer to my reply though
Why do you have the 320i logo in your signature ???

hmmmmm

black wheels look OK but IMO only when the centre/spoked area is black, leaving a silver polished rim, like the MIM's on Toby Unna's car and Richy325Touring's car. I think you need a dished alloy to get away with it too.
All black IMO only look good when they are at least 17" and dished and on Jap stuff, like Civics, Supras etc.
Just my opinion though

Hello mate, I didn't say I though they were crap, I said the replies would say that.
I posted a thread ages ago about 320i's and why they weren't as liked as 325i's and a long thread developed about it.
320i in my sig: My car is a 320i, I've had 2 others aswell. I personally think they are very good cars for a number of reasons I wont go into here.
I'll see if I can find your original Q and post there.
EDIT: I've found it and hve posted there

I see, I have one too, and its giving me a nice time. I am sure there are many around too, maybe they don't defent it for fear to bad replies then !
Not trying to be conflictive here, but this is an E30 and wouldn't understand why people will not accept that there is a 6-in line with smaller cc that runs ok, without being expensive or gutless.
