Never been a fan. The design - in most lighting conditions and from any distance greater than 20 feet or so - gets lost. If stealth is the goal, why pay $Texas for black wheels? just get some steelies with the proper offset widened and throw on some epic rubber.

All look good. Black wheels look fine. Just a select few who don't like them or understand them. I see nothing wrong with them at all.

What about green or red Volks? LOL

What sizes/offsets are those? I love the ARC 8. I'm thinking about picking up a pair in either the matte black or the hyper black.

I like gold and magnesium blue to be honest. Black a close 3rd and all other wheels 4th and on.

I have seen red and green Volks. Not my cup of tea but look good with certain paint schemes.

Do you have any with the hard top off the car, and maybe the soft top on? Or just top down would be nice.
