Anyone else sick of black wheels?

I really like the brushed aluminum look, epsecially on yours. I ordered the chrome alcoa look alikes from BMC, but wish they were brushed instead. Considerably cheaper than alcoa's so i can live with that. Thinking of getting my ford racing rims darkened to gun metal, or black chrome.

If Ford gave us wheels with offsets that make them flush with the fender, and widths to support tires that will actually hook with 420hp, let alone 662hp, I would fricken consider having my wheels refinished. But they didn't.

I said "current" but should have specified aftermarket. I didn't mean to imply that this is an option on stock wheels (though technically it is, I don't think it's preferable to an entirely different set of wheels for a variety of reasons).

Ah yeah I gotcha. I just realized I've never actually had aftermarket wheels on any of my cars. I bought my 03 GT with TF Chicanes, but took them off immediately and put my 10th Anniversary Cobra wheels (which, funny enough, were powder coated gloss black lol). I liked the Chicanes but the previous owner curbed the living sh*t out of them in a touch less car wash. I sold them and the next owner dipped them black, which actually came out pretty decent. Made me wish I kept them haha

Yup, that's how everyone should be with their rides. Although, if one posts a pic of their car on a public forum, they must be seeking some sort of acknowledgment of their ride, be it wheels or otherwise. If it was solely for your own enjoyment, I wouldn't think one would feel the need to post their ride publicly. They would be satisfied with just a nice pic as wallpaper on the PC or mobile phone.

I had a hard time with finding a black wheel I like for my SGM. I found a few charcoal wheels I liked, but ended up with dark stainless. I love the look, at least when I keep them clean
These have just the right offset for 275/40-19s. And the wheel gap with stock TP suspension isn't as bad.

I think black wheels look great on the right vehicle. It also depends on tastefully it was done.
Just like the next vehicle quite possibly will be white with blackened chrome wheels. Looks killer.
