Black wheels are for lazy people who don't like cleaning and who think it looks mean.

Ducking, Lol

When they first started showing up I told everyone I didn't like them. So what did I end up buying?

Not true.....black wheels take just as much time to keep clean as any other wheel. They all look bad when dirty!! :D

There are some of the best looking 4 spares set ups in this thread. most people don't have 18-20" spares.
Would 15" BLack wheels look good on a c6? That may look like spares :-)

When I had chrome and polished wheels on my car, people said it was beautiful, then since I put black wheels on, people tell me that it is bad ass....
Both ways I like, but for now I am liking the black. I definitely get more comments with the black wheels, than any other.

i have two sets of wheels, black and chrome, so that solves the dilemma

In this case the wheels SHOULD be black:

I like chrome the best, but to each his own. Not a big deal.

I live in a small city (50k) with its own corvette club and as far as I know, I have only black wheels in town. When I see them cruising around I always think how they all look the same. Now after reading this thread, I know what they must think when they see me. "Lazy people who don't like cleaning" or "Looks cheap" or "Black wheels sux" maybe "Black wheels=taxicab/looks horrible" or my favorite "Look like crap" FYI I didn't like black either, so had mine powered coated MATTE BLACK

I love them. :rofl::rofl:

It is not about age. On the right car with the right complete look, black wheels are fine. But to just throw some black wheels on a car and say it is great just does not cut it. Why you feel the need to call older people childish names? :toetap:

Well, if nothing else, you know nothing about cool cars. :thumbs:

What I meant was I can't wait to hear the opinion fireworks. As the op said "let the destruction begin":rock:

Just to be clear....being young doesn't make one "generally fashion or trend savvy". Being young generally means you make more mistakes simply due to inexperience.:rofl:

"Old people" generally do what THEY like, not what they think other fashion or trend savvy people like. That's why old people could care less what sneakers Shack wears or which hair-do J-low or Snookie are sporting this week. :yesnod:

Hardly a troll man, simply talking about wheels on a forum :yes nod: Maybe YOU need the vision check :willy:

BTW, not a fan of the black either :thumbs:

And people who THINK they are cool :rofl:

Im with the OP, I dont like black wheels at all. Ive had black & gunmetal on 2 cars and after switching over to white wheels I will never go back. Sure they are harder to keep clean but they pop a lot more and add to the overall look of the car.

Like lots of other mods, it might look nice on your car, but it wouldn't on mine.

That's certainly true for me. I generally resisted "fads" when I was young (DOB 1950) and still do to some degree. Seeing everything chromed all my life, maybe I like the blacked-out look because it's different, I don't know.

I like the mysterious aura surrounding a Vette like that; it makes it look anti-cop, anti-establishment or rebellious or something.

In the back of my mind it also brings back memories of watching the early James Bond (Sean Connery) movies when I was a teenager. Although I don't think any of his cars had black wheels, they were tricked out and very fast -- as were his women. Heh, nuttin' wrong with that! :D

I can't really put my finger on it other than that. :confused:
