You might be better off switching to a black top first...

Plenty of TR cars with black wheels here on the forum. Surely some of the owners will chime in here.

Honestly if it were my car I'd go with a nice set of chromes, if your top and interior were black that would be a different story.

I typically don't like black rims however I have seen some that look great. I have actually considered some black if I could find the right ones. I need some contrast to the all TR exterior.

I know they're out there but as expensive as rims are I have to know there the ones if I go that route.

For now I'll stick with my wagon wheels and my wagon wheel makeovers
