Hi Guys and Girls,
I was just wondering what people would think about this? I've got a Black AUIII3 with ts50 front and rear bumpers + sideskirts which I think looks good but I want to put on black rims and BA bonnet bulge? I think it'l look good, Im going to upload a few photoshopped pics to give you an idea. PS: This is my first post. |

Mate I think it would look fantastic.........as long as you go big enough, or wide enough with the rims (otherwise it just looks like you are running stockies ;) )

On the right car, I think it will work. But it needs to have the right stance, wheels and kit to pull it off.
Oh and welcome to the forums.

If you want black rims on a black car, id recommend them having a big polished lip around them.
Similar to my wheels =D

I liked this BA, it's black (everywhere) and has red on the wheels.

I would leave them as is dude. They look tough. That price is decent too. But be wary of the tire brand.

Thought I'd throw my pic into the ring. I have a second set of wheels for racedays. RAYS 2 piece rims, picked them up for a bargain, 50 per wheel for dipping and powdercoating. Not exactly black, but you'd get the idea.
I like them so much, I have been cruising around with semi slicks and am now tempted to put my normal tyres on them.   Oh, i know they are only 17x8 and 17x8, would have gone bigger because I think they would look better, but these were the cheap rims and I had 17" advans |

Blackau, the merc rims look like OZ Racing Superturismo.
You can achive simmilar effect if you paint a set of Azzurros black and add a red lip. Or look up Tenzo Racing Cuzco wheels, staggered 19's with concave rears, time attack(black with red lip).
