I have never been a fan of all black wheels... but that has me changing my mind. I think you have one of the few cars that can successfully pull that look off.

Looks great! Thanks for the pics.

Hope you don't mind me tweaking your pic...

Here's what it would look like with a painted lip. I still prefer this over all black wheels because it seperates wheel from tire. HOWEVER, I do think your all-black wheel is the first I've actually liked.

Not my best work but it gives you a basic idea. Second one has slightly tinted windows. BTW, the pinstripes are simply taped on? Are they round in shape? I've always thought they were painted on.

Okay, after this I might have to start charging you... although I'm not sure you can afford it after buying a BS.

with tinted windows

I agree.
I am never a fan of black rims, but I do like them on your car.
Very underground - race inspired.

i have some black BBS RC's on a tornado red GTI. it looks good. in my opinion black wheels really only look good on red and silver cars.
