IMHO Flat black cars looks MEAN I like the black rims, I think it would look great you mean flat black cars are for people who can't afford good body work or paint. That too, but I didn't want to be rude. I'm already rude enough.

This picture states my opinion for me. I have the new black Weld 2.0's for my 10.5 Cuda. Everybody has an opinion but to me....the black looks awesome!! Bad HotRod right there!!

Personally I like the polished wheels on the Duster but the black rims are certainly an improvement over the gold on the Barracuda. How about something in between - like either a light or dark metallic grey ??

Now I agree with this.The green 'Cuda looks better with the black wheels over the gold.However,the gold would have looked great if the car was orange.
