Why I hate black wheels:

Hawkeye · 07-12-2011, 01:57 PM

I like the black ones better.

Your statement here just screams ignorance or idiocy... can't really tell which one though. I may be able to tell but I don't speak troll and my translator is broken.

Those both look great. And for two reasons:

1. Expensive and tasteful
2. Large brake rotors with calipers of a contrasting color

Silver, definitely. And I love the color of your car.

Ah, yes. I am an idiot for my opinion. If I were tolling, I would throw an insult in every thread where someone posts a picture of his or her car with black wheels, but I'm not going to do that.

The black wheels look much better with the car being that low. The silver wheels look stock to me and again, nothing wrong with that.

Magnesium blue would actually look better on silver. I had my Mag Blue CE28s on my TiAg M3 for a bit and it looks very nice....

Comes down to what Cmark said. As long as the wheel looks good on the car, black or silver will do just fine.

Many years ago, while in college, I had a POS car with black wheels.......I just never washed them.

Are you serious?

fitchesbass · 07-12-2011, 05:39 PM

I hate black wheels on stock non-supercar cars... is maybe what this thread should say.

I'm not a fan of people that just paint their stock wheels black and that's it. Things like that I'm not a fan of.

Phishman · 07-12-2011, 07:02 PM

The guy pointed to specific cars w/ black wheels he didn't like. If you have a problem with that then you shouldn't have come here. I don't personally care for them but I also wouldn't ever buy a convertible. And I would really hope nobody on here would be thin-skinned enough to interpret that as "roadsters are pieces of shit".

schwank · 07-12-2011, 07:16 PM

I like mine... and I use black rims for the street and silver rims for the track... I have a few pictures but they dont really show the nterlagos blue lip on them.

mousitch · 07-12-2011, 07:20 PM

OP

Not all of us are twenty-somethings. Of course I have four other sets of rims that I can roll but these will do for now. Good pig.
In all reality any choice is a good choice if the owner likes it. Who gives a shit what others think as I get mad props for this setup.

No need for a troll translator - just use your regular translator with the "life experience" upgrade; the passcode is BTDT (2838 on your phone).

I have to say that Interlagos blue with black wheels does look rather stellar. Good job !

I love the direct contradiction of those two statements in the same sentence.

bdn3d, I'm also curious what suspension setup you're running. Your wheel spacing is perfect.

Looks like H&R springs with the small gap in front and no gap in the rear.

Nice...

In all honesty my TA CE28N's I never washed and it rained here 8 months out of the year so it was perfect. lol

Low maintenance!!!!!

Are we really still debating this? My conclusion, this community is completely bored.

Kwv3 with a 10 mill spacer. She's as low as I can go without rubbing with the wider track tires
