I like it. Much better than chrome, which everyone does, and doesnt particularly look good IMHO. Bump for pics

I like it so much that I did it 7 years ago.
I'm not on my computer at home right now so I can't post pics, but you'll like the look a lot.

Actually, look at my avatar.

I like them to but I went a little different than all black. I wanted a change so I went with the Z06 Motorsports. Some like some don't but that's the way everything is.

To be honest, I would LOVE those if it weren't for the silver bolts around the perimeter. If they were black, those wheels would look sick.

I like the color combo of the black and red. I think it adds a bit of stealthness to the C4!

Not mine, but I did paint the wheels on it. It looks good to me.

Default An opinion!

The "black wheel" looks much better on a "red" early C4 with the "black moldings". Everything about the early "red" C4 just makes "black" wheels the "right choice"! The "black band" on the glass sets it off also.

NO TINTED GLASS is important too! Glass looks best clean and polished! I've got black 5-spoke wheels on my '90 ZR1 and I just need to get rid of the "polished Corsa tips"! "Black Power Effect" soon!

I'm an old school guy and still think the red cries for chrome or something shiney. I will say the black wheels look mean. Pick what you like, you only have to please yourself.
