So, I will openly admit that I don't get the worlds fascination with black wheels. Straight up admit that I absolutely hate them.

But as someone who doesn't understand the black wheel hysteria, can someone who DOES love black wheels explain the thought process that goes into making black wheels, and then putting an orange stripe on them???

I don't get it... but, then again, I don't get black wheels either...

With that being said, I don't necessarily mind the interior piping. That kind of breaks it up...

You don't have to like black rims. Nothing wrong with that. There are people who don't like silver wheels or chrome wheels either. Some people like a stealth look car.

I have to assume that the reason that others do like it is because of the, as you put it, stealth factor.

So, that brings me back to my original question. If black wheels are all about being stealthy, what is the point of the orange stripe? Isn't that kind of anti-black / anti-stealth?

I should probably shut up, and not even weigh in on this, because my opinion is SO slanted one way... (i'll shut up)...

It's personal preference. Even with the orange it's still kinda stealthy. Many black rims have a silver lip.
