Black makes it look like a cop car. Sorry.

Like the black version, slap some smoked tails on there too and you got a mild murder out.

Black wheels either look dirty to me or like a Ricer, not a change that I can go with. Body color wheel could do it possibly, Woody

I don't like the look. Has a teeny bopper look to it.

I think it'l look AWSOME makes the car look so much more aggressive, The only reason I haven't done it is because I dont have the *****, but I highly doubt you'll regret it and worst case scenario is just get it painted back to silver. I think you'll find the younger guys on here will say black where as the older guys will say leave it. I only say that because I asked my friends if I should do what your planning they all said yes, but my dad and his friends " oh no dont touch it you'll wreck your car" haha

Black wheels usually look like "Terminal" Brake dust to me. Like Kolevski said, it's probably an "age" thing.
It may go back to my childhood, when only the "cheapest" toy cars had black wheels and tires.
But if you like it, by all means, go for it. You only have to please yourself. (When it comes to your car that is)

I think if they had a Glossier look ....then I would like them.

I prefer it left "as-is" too. Of course, it's your car so it's totally up to you!

Just kind of reminds me what my chrome wheels kinda look like when I haven't washed my car in a month!

I've seen black wheels on black Crossfires before, and they looked good! (but they looked nothing like the stock ones).

Good luck!

I sprayed my rims black and I love it. I have the base coupe though so its all black. I still say that black wheels and side vents would look pretty sick on a red one. I would do the grill also.

Since you haven't done it yet, no harm done. Leave the wheels alone. Doesn't work with red.
