that is the ugliest E55 I have ever seen, I still don't understand the black wheel fad. Putting black wheels on a car is like a pretty girl with short hair, she's still pretty but she would look much better with long hair. Silver wheels with a polished lip or chrome wheels on a dark color car are the best.

well, I like the black wheels, it makes it look stealth or something... and about the girls... how cares about the lenth of the hair... as long as they aren't bald they'll get my attention...

No heat distorsion or corrosion issues.
Hydrogen embrittlement is the big killer when you chrome cast wheels.

In Sweden black wheels is the way to go and chrome is so yesterday. That's life across the sea, best regards Kleiv

I understand that it is popular the same is true here, but why do something to the car simply to follow a trend. Even though everyone is doing it the cars still look worse than they would with different wheels. Take your 911 it looks horrible with those black wheels on it, like a race car, but horrible. Swap those out for the Turbo wheels, the mesh design with the polished lip, and the car would look ten times better.

Just my opinion, i'm not trying to offend you but if you tell me your car looks better with those wheels on it...you're nuts

Your the first one with that opinion that says so to me, of course it's nothing wrong to have a different opinion and I respect that.


And of course my cars looks better with black wheels, you should join the dark side
