I never knew there was so much hate on black wheels.

To me black painted wheels screams "cheap"
If you've ever seen the chrome plating process you know it's cost much more than spray painting. That's why manufacturers like painted wheels.
Now manufacturers offer a chrome bumper pkg. "For extra $$" on their pickup trucks.
I don't care for my brass monkey wheels either

Sorry but for me chrome wheels = bling imo (Besides Dgatz). All that extra $$ in the expensive plating process just to make most vehicles blingy to me lol. Don’t care about people thinking my vehicle looks cheap, better than blinged out for me.
Cheap wins for me lol. Although im not a Brass Monkey fan either. See? We agree lol.

Actually I prefer a machined aluminum wheel with black accents over a chrome wheel. So we kind of agree lol

Years ago when it came to wheels me and my buddy would say "If it ain't chrome take it home" then years later we changed it to "If it ain't black bring it back". I wonder what our next wheel rhyme will be?

Why isn
I had a choice of Aluminum and Gold before I landed on black with my Rohana's with red center caps. I think it looks cleaner and more sleek in black and matches with the rest of my car.

No way in hell you'll ever see me in chrome wheels :sick:

All of my cars have black wheels, or at least a set of black wheels, and I completely hate myself for it. The second every soccer mom started rolling around in factory murdered out CUVs and minivans you know the trend is done.

I don't need shiny and bright. Blacked out is the way to go. I don't want the attention.

Thanks man! Maybe I'll enter it next month or something. Weather sucks and I don't take her out enough. When I do, I'm not snapping pics like I should be...excuses I know.

Learned ages ago, everyone likes different, wheels, colors, themes, everything. That is plenty okay, that is change and innovation at work.

I was really into custom bikes. Even won big contests with a major chrome looking bike. I like chrome! You guys think you want to walk up to the guys whom believe chrome is cool at a motorcycle show and tell them you believe they are using the chrome to attract attention, and therefore they should ride/buy that new black wheeled model that you are driving??

Notice I say I don't like black, okay, but I don't call people names or make assumptions as to WHY, or the reasons they have selected wheels that are a different color than I like.

You guys see any similarities between these two vehicles? Besides the spruce trees and two wheels! It just looks as good in my mind to the chemicals that flow in your mind looking at the black wheels.

Nice bike is that a big bear chopper?

I think we may be long lost brothers from the old country. I normally don't turn on the LEDs it is a little too much but makes for cool pictures.

Too cool. My HD had LED's on it, but about 15 or more yr ago, a local county cop pulled us over one night and gave me hell about it. Screw it, I unfortunately removed them. The more you post and show, it scares me Bro!

Forgot, no it was a War Eagle frame. That rolling chassis was the one we nearly had to go collect the frame from the damn builder with cannons in the back hills of TN.
