Vit4wd 1st Gear December 18, 2005 Share December 18, 2005 Why do many car owners like to fit black sports rims to their cars? Personally, I find it looks awful, as there's no colour contrast between the black tyres and rims. Might as well just use black steel rims. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear December 18, 2005 Share December 18, 2005 i believe it started with the dished rims (chrome/polished dish) with black centres(feel free to check the jap magazines), but singaporean and malaysian boyracers are too much of tight-arses to pay for them so all black lor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ncss Clutched December 19, 2005 Share December 19, 2005 I also found some "cheong" car like to fit black rims... As we know, low profile rims & tire quite expensive... They fit black to cover up..., just using 55 or 50 profile already make it looks sporty... save $ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, to each his own lah, can't critisize others taste. Dark rims is to make your car stand out, have a more rugged & dirty track look. Shiny or colored rims makes your car stand out if you choose the correct color and design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
