Thoughts on blacked out rims

I want the all black look for quite some time now, and after looking at what several members (apple 55, jangy) did to their car, I've made my decision.

Do you think the stock 63 rims look good in black?

Also what other rims would you guys recommend? I'm thinking Brabus mono S in black...would look sick...

E55
That looks really good from 2K6E55. However, it looks like he is going for the total blackout look. If you are not doing all blackout, then I would recommend a polish lips or something with contrast.

+1 on black wheels with dark color cars. It looks great.

I think the stock 63 wheels 100% blacked out would look gooood. Even better, leave the grey in between the spokes alone and just paint the rest black. Thatll give you a little bit of contrast in the rim and it will look much more professional. And 2K6...wow.

+1 on the spoke idea, i was gonna do that if i got a e63 (there was a small possibility)

Do you need some closeups of my wheels? They're Brabus monoblock S 8.5 x 18 ET 50's on the front and 9.5 x 18 ET 50's on the back. All black powder coated.

I like it

I'm probably going to be powder coating my Carlsson UL's when I go get that set fixed.

Jay, you may want to check around. I haven't been too happy with the quality on mine. Can't beat the price at under $100 per rim, though.

The Modulares SUCK!! LOL.

I said quality homes, not color. the color was an experiment and I don't mind that. The paint itself is already bubling off, though and that ain't cool. Neither is Jeff's bent rim.

You been busy, huh you whacko!! Haven't seen you about lately.
