With or without the yellow strip?

I think it looks more eyecatching with it, but tougher without it.

Not sure which I prefer.


Opinions?

You wouldnt say that if you saw them up close, lol

They are Si B's old wheels, I got them basically free when I bought the tyres on them off of him, and they are kerbed to hell, I just quickly rattle canned them to get an idea if black wheels suit the car or not, will probably get a set of black OZ super T's for it at some point.

I really like the black wheel look on it though, so thats definately going to happen whatever rims I end up on.

Looks different and help the rest of the car stand out.....not like a custard cossie doesn't stand out to start with but it helps i reckon.
The only probelm is that everybody and there gran has cottoned onto the rim tape/rim colouring trend and soon you'll be wanting to take it off. Nowt worse than everyfooker having the same stuff.

Yeah the offset is definately not ideal when its standard.

Weirdly it doesnt look as bad now they are black, it used to look REALLY wrong when they were silver, but I havent got a picture of that to show you what I mean.
