I voted for black, is that with a polished silver rim as that will be cool on a white car i think.

Black wheels are :cool:

I'm thinking about this myself as I've got a set of BBS's coming my way soon.

I'm veering toward black at this moment in time.

I did my track car BBS's in black. Think I should have done the rims in a lighter shade of Silver though...

Do yours black!

there is NO point in painting cross-spoked wheels black - you can no longer see the lovely spokes

if you want black that's cool, but not cross-spokes PLLLEEASSE

yes that track-cars wheels look very good close up, but from a normal distance? They look like nothing....

je ne comprend pas......

as for images-there are none-took the wheels off and cleaned them-decided they were too good to paint (see the pics in photo gallery!!)

paint back to the shop and cash in the tank instead :cool:

will probably get a cheap set of BBS and do them up soon.

The thing is they're not, and that's for a reason.

The reason being they don't look right.

Well done Neil for deciding not to deface a nice set of wheels :clap:
