All black wheels just look dirty??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Do you guys/gals think this? I have the Havoc wheels and my gf doesn't like them much. She says they "just look dirty."

She liked my Midnight Silver "RS" wheels better!! I'm digging the Havoc's....and a lot of other all black wheels.

What are your guys' opinions on all black wheels???

2010 SSRS · 11-12-2011, 10:56 AM

I do not like all black wheels, I think they take away the look to much, I like full Chrome wheels, but it is your car and what makes you happy is what counts the most.

Is it her car?

ChriSS84 · 11-12-2011, 10:58 AM

Tell her to stfu and worry about cleaning and cooking........

JK......

But seriously I have mine stockers powdercoated black and I wouldn't change it. I had Chrome 22's and want to get them powdercoated black as well... I have a black car btw

I like black wheels but i feel the style of the wheel has to fit with the color scheme and the car its self. If the wheel style doesnt fit with the car then No, it wont look good even if it was a different color. If i had to get some black wheels it would be a deep dish 22 or something of that variation with glossy black.

MichaelH · 11-12-2011, 11:11 AM

black wheels are sick looking which is why i powder coated mine black

Jaime068 · 11-12-2011, 11:15 AM

Depends on what color you put them on...I wanted to go ALL black wheels on my RJT but to me they didnt seem right?? So I went with GM's 21's since it has a chrome lip making the rims stand out from the tires.

doubletrouble · 11-12-2011, 11:28 AM

I love black wheels. Black is the new chrome.

PercyJWellingtonIII · 11-12-2011, 11:31 AM

Most wheels just look so complicated with too much bling today.

Haha, no, but you know how it is....you want the ladyfriend to like it also....but it's funny I say that because she never cared too much for the Camaro before I got it anyway. She likes it now though...so she might grow to like the wheels also!!

LMAO....I'm too much of a gentleman to do that. All black car and wheels looks excellent IMO.

Yeah, I definitely think that all black looks better on some colors than others. Also....it's possible that I would've had the same wheels you have....if they weren't so EXPENSIVE!! Haha. I've always liked the 21" GM wheel packages, in all the styles available.

FL1CK · 11-12-2011, 11:44 AM

The havocs are black chrome... that's different than a black wheel that's painted or powdercoated (which looks bad IMHO) But I like the havocs. Show here some powdercoated or painted rims and ask which she likes better... (If you have to get rid of the Havocs, send me a PM for price!)

TJ91 · 11-12-2011, 11:46 AM

the rs wheels look dirty. All black wheels look DURRRTTTYYYY

lol But all black wheels, cleaned, looks amazing

Kwiq Niss · 11-12-2011, 11:47 AM

Chrome doesn't belong on a performance car IMHO. I like the black wheels, but I hate washing them every week.

SSGUNNER · 11-12-2011, 12:02 PM

I prefer all black wheels. In fact im considering having my stock wheels painted black or powder coated.
