    Black Wheels with chrome window/grill trim?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I know lots of you have done it, just wanted to get some pics lined up. I really love the look of black wheels on cars when done right, especially on black, white, silver, red, or yellow cars. Which is most of the colors you can buy.. haha.
    Anyways, just wanting a few pics to try and make up my mind. I'm mostly set on OZ Ultraleggera (still dangerously tempted by the way pricier and heavier BBS CH black edition) but am open to silver or black. I know this is much easier to pull off with Titanium edition, which I unfortunately do not have. So, pics of those with black wheels and chrome trim would really help me decide if it still looks good. Thanks!

    the CH's are heavier, more expensive, but would look way better on our cars. Did you get your sways from Brian yet?

    Got the sways last week! So anxious to put em on, just waiting on wheel decision so I can order those and throw the coil overs on. I know the dilemma with the CH blacks.. I'm very tempted but then get a reality check and realize that this car is already heavy enough! So we'll see. Need some pics for now!

    19" DPEs. Tried to even it out a bit with the polished and black theme.

    With a polished/chrome lip, you can definitely pull it off! Looks great. Any more?

    I'll try and snap some more pics after the rain stops here in Arizona.
    I bought the filler plate from GMG I guess they custom paint them piano black.
    I actually replaced it a few DTs ago with a flat black filler with black accents.

    I just wanted to change the look of my front end a bit. Added that new filler plate and threw some yellow lamin-x on my fogs. Next is LED angel eyes and clear corner.
    The piano black filler has gotten a few chips in it ever since I moved to Arizona.
    I'll try and snap some pics if your still intersted.

    Thinking about painting my chrome grill black. Not the window trim just the grill trim.

    I agree. Run them without the polished lip....Not a fan of the lip.

    Cargo- Love your wheels, as you can see I've been considering them for a while too. Some people are saying no silver lip, but it seems that on every car shown here, there is a chrome or silver lip on the wheel to 'match' the chrome trim. I think it looks great! The CH black edition are officially the only black wheels I might put on my car...
