As with anything RR - right car, right wheels, right type of black.

A bit of consideration and thought and they will always look stunning, and won't lump you in with the "common" lot who have just gone and bought some off the Halfords shelf.

Can look good and bad, depending on the style and colour of the car.  I personally dislike black alloys with a coloured rim or too big a polished/stainless lip, for me you can't beat BBS CH Black Editions.

I quite like black wheels....like the moody-ness of them all, a bit more menacing!

But i would say that as i have satin black wheels on mine....as RR said it nice to break up the tyre from the rim, and the silver edge works really well as in the BBS CH's.

I would go as far as an anthracite finish on rims, but not black - I think they would be too hard to keep clean

 I don't like to spend half my life cleaning and detailing - What's the point? This is England not California.


I know it's a little off topic but Amen to that! Glad I'm not alone in that sort of sentiment  :happy2:

I like black alloys as where I live not many peeps have them, nor is there any Gti's/R32's!

Someone mention black CH's? :innocent:

I've always liked black on silver and the CH's look :drool: otherwise I wouldn't have spent the money on them that I did.

Some blacks look too OTT, as do some finishes. You need to be careful when choosing. I'd say Black is easier to maintain than silver, but you MUST seal the finish in properly to keep it looking that way. :happy2:
