Black cars are one that I feel can look good with blackened rims, with polished lips as subtle flash. Well maintained and accompanied by a showroom gloss, its movement through the city streets at night lends to the appearance of a leopard prowling, enhanced by the flickering of reflection on the rim highlights.

huh? what am i typing? just got in the door from long day at work. i'm blathering. going to get dinner. :-)

Go get dinner ray, but either way, he speaks the truth. Black cars are a job in themselves to keep clean, but the rewards are better then a Christmas bonus.

I think in general, they look aggressive.
Depends if you like that look or not.
I do, go for it.

Sure you can find black wheels. Just buy 4 E320 yr 2000 spare tires and install them. They look really cool.

Here you go Rob. My baby is wearing 19" Brabus Monoblock V multi-piece rims. The inside is powdercoated black with a polished rim. I personally love the look.
