    Black looks even worse and too boy racer, it's a current trend going ATM, alot of people putting black rims on everything - not a good look, just like the craze of chrome a few years back and just like chrome, it'll date !!!

    Otherwise just get yourself a neat set of affordable aftermarkets, there are heaps of choices in 17" or 18" in either hyper silver or shadow chrome, which both look fantastic up against a silver coloured car Click here to enlarge

    I must be trendy because I have had black wheels on my cars for over ten years!! Black and silver does work though.

    the wheels from the black MPS on here they look good, but his car is black not silver i guess.

    IM with wraith go for some aftermarket ones, and keep the stockers for when u want to sell the car makes it much easier to sell.

    hmmm

    i'm not sure they suit the car.. but will think about it..

    they definitely don't look dirty (when clean) as the finish on the grey is still reflective...

    was thinking about it because the tyre repair place near work was repairing a set of Gallardo wheels and I just loved the colour of it.

    repairing two wheels will be $200 or so, but to match all four (if i change colour) will be $400.

    As for a set of aftermarket wheels.. i personally like the OEM 17s.

    Sounds like leaving them as is will be the go...

    Those black wheels posted up by TTEETT look good on their own, but mounted up on a car is a different story...you'll have to put a set of whatever you like up against the car and judge for yourself whether or not you like the look of it - at the end of the day ,it's yoyr choice, whatever makes you happy Click here to enlarge
