What rims do you like better on my car?
Most of my good friends like the mini rims better than the ones i bought in a rush last year when i got the car cause i got a cash deal off a truck. Most of my loser friends like the black rims. What does that tell me?

Of the two, the black ones. But I'm not a fan of black wheels. Is there a third option ?

The black rims are nice, but so are the crown spokes. Ever think about painting the crown spokes?

I guess I'm a loser but perhaps not your friend. The black ones rock by a mile

Black ones look better, you must loose that sunroof shield though its huge, does not look good on the car at all.

I like the Black Rims better out of the two but I would get rid of the chrome on the black rims it would look a lot nicer.

I agree, I think painting the crown spokes would be your best option in my opinion.
Personally I'm not a fan of those black rims.

I've never been a fan of black wheels. Keep the crowns and leave them silver

Both of the wheels you showed are painted so they hold up like those
If stripped, prepped correctly, and painted properly with quality paint, they will hold up really well to daily driving.

I know we are in the minority, but I MUST concur. I've NEVER EVER liked black wheels. But hey, that's just my opinion. It's YOUR CAR, do what YOU want!

I think polished-lip black wheels are the quickest way to ruin the look of a car.
