I don't like black rims.. Here's why.. Up here where it snows, everybody uses black steel rims on their cars during the winter. So you see black rims all the time. Add to that, that black rims with no accent colors/chrome/etc are extremely bland and just look like you're driving around on a solid piece of rubber. Bleh, boring.

So keep the factory wheels, or get your black ones painted/powdercoated.

I also LOATHE black rims. So this was an easy vote for me.

Exactly what I was thinking. I even thought of putting the crooked H in the center with silver color and paint the calipers silver. But I also think it looks too bland!!!

Seriously, the black rim design isn't bad, it's just an awful color. I'd check in to how much it'd cost to have those rims powdercoated silver or the same color as your car.

If you're good with a paint can (few people are really good) you could paint them youself, just don't rice them out. (cheap option)

You could chrome/nickle plate them but I bet that's big bucks.

I like a combo of silver/black, but the all black is too much.

I like the black wheels.

If someone can't tell the difference between alloy wheels and steel wheels (with or without hubcaps) then they are stupidheads.

i like the black rims and the style but being they are only 15's its a toss-up.

Gotta say I do not like the look of those black wheels. as a set with race rubber that only was on at the track, I could deal with them. But for DD, no.

I voted silver... I like the silver "stockies" over the black. If you decide you don't like the silver I might buy them off ya!!
