Lighting blue and black Rims? Help

This is my car. I'm going to take out Vinyl challenge and I'm thinking about changing my rims colours to black or dark grey.



Do you have any photos with that combination?

Lots of thanks.

Lots of thanks sil3ncer7, great job I am a computer engineer but I don't work with photoshop, Thanks for your time!!!!!: thumbsup:

I want to remove the vinyls, checkered are also included. I will paint the mirror, probably in red or orange (DTM).

Perhaps the best option would be in dark grey.


What is your opinion on the photos???

I've got an R53, but you can check my gallery for a pic with gunmetal rims.

I will also be putting black wheels on my LiB/B 08MCS as soon as I get it sometime in the next few weeks. I was going to go with these (Hyper Black) or these (Black) which are both lightweight. I htink the dark coloured wheels look really good with the black fender mouldings!!

And BTW I'm a project manager/designer for a mechanical company so I guess I might be considered a black sheep!!

How many computer engineer and programmers!!!!!!

I'm not sure about changing the colour. .... I think... my wheels in black looks smaller than in white. I need time to think about it.

Here is my lightning blue with black

I added the side stripes because I thought it was too dark without them. Chrome along belt line now blacked out.

I will paint the mirror caps, probably in red. I need to think about the wheels.

The chrono Ht are the fourth wheels on my R56.. too much wheels in a year.

(webspoke, Gp replica, OZ Superturismo and the Chrono HT) so I need to think about painting it.
