whats the opinion of you guys fitting black wheels to a coupe.

i've been looking at some black wheels and like quite a lot of them but not sure if they'd look good on a coupe or a bit chav like.

awful.

in my opinion.

but its your car so do as you wish!

They look excellent on a Coupe

i'm not getting any (well unless it's a good deal) just interested to know what people think.

and on your blue car they look fantastic.
it really looks like it is going to depend on what colour coop there on.
nice coupe Theresa by the way

i think wheels are a very personal choice
no matter what YOU like, someone else will hate it
and vice versa

Doody, to what extent is your Coupe modded?

it's not, only has a gtec 1 chip

so no sideskirts, lips, spoilers etc?

yes all the plus bits, why?

this is what it would look like- to an extent

and this

(nice, in my opinion!)

does look nice, that one looks lower than mine

yeah black wheels looks decent on the following Coupe colours- yellow, porto, white, sprint, red, black, scots green, chrono, silver- erm all of them.

its a subtle mod in my opinion which doesn't look crazy

They look amazing in my opinion. Here's what they look like on a red one..(mine!)

this thread is talking myself in to getting black wheels.

nice car too swiftpete, i've been drooling over red coupe's for a while now.

swiftpete, coop there

really didn't think it would suit a yellow coupe but this thread is enlightening me

Doody, just to clarify, would it be the standard alloys darkened, right?

Black wheels are as stylish as wearing sandels..
with black socks !

funky!

no i was just looking at alloys and noticed how many black wheels were on the market.

i've been looking for months for the right alloy wheels and think i've got down to two azevs a or c or the same ones flyingcustard has

whats wrong with sandels and socks lol only joking.

the mrs hates seeing people with sandels and socks.

Doody have a try on the wheel demo application

its got the azev A and C alloys on it

Black wheels are horrible. They are a very unsubtle mod which once again is a lemming-like attempt to keep up with modern trends in "personalising" your car.

Don't do it. End of.

Discaimer: The above represents my personal opinion. Other opinions are available.

i'd forgotten all about that, thanks

i was going to put black wheels with red rim on my red coupe but have decided to go silver for a fresher look.
although having said that if I had a broom yellow for me it would have to be a set of dotz anthracite alloys with a yellow lip on them with matching fuel cap.

i think these would look awesome on a broom yellow, almost tempted to break my red one and get a broomer!!!

i'm not too sure about the yellow lip, i had a panda 100hp which i bought some black wheels with a polished lip, they looked good on the panda but for a coupe dont know.

a young lad round the corner from me has some black wheels on his black civic and they have a red lip don't really like them but then thats probably 'cus i hate the old civics

it's one of those where you'd have to see a picture of them on a coop
they do remind me of a ferrari with wheels like that i see

AlanW sometimes I think that you are Chris Bangle

Have you seen the video I made? it doesn't have any chavvy ones- all nice ones, I think you will like it.

Looks familer

Though i would say dont get them in black.

mine are in (excuse the spelling) athericate/ you know what i mean

Ben

Doody, black wheels look good on a yellow Coupe.

Although if you buy Azev's, I think they are best left as silver

Black wheels look

Black wheels look good on a coupe.

More importantly - have you seen my video? It has your car in it

AlanW's Coupe makes an appearance in mine too

3 in mine . . .

mine has a picture of thelma and louise jumping over a cliff in a coupe.

and james bond driving a white coupe into the ocean which then turns into a submarine.

and steve mcqueen driving a coupe in a car chase through the streets of san francisco

Mine has naked ladies . . . . . . .






I win

lets not go crazy now

Black wheels might be to some taste, but I personally don't understand why you would then pick up a specific expensive type of wheel. I just think the black hides all the subtle details of a nice wheel. It's like black cars - I only would spec a black car if I don't really like the lines of the car I'm buying. All the details are lost.

There... probably the first time I've vented my personal opinion on here. Rest assured I'm still doing it in a very balanced way. (Because I just hate completely black wheels.)

I love my black wheels . The one thing that is essential though is to make sure your tyres are nice and black too.

Black alloys and washed out grey tyres is not a good look (like in my sig pic just now ).

Baz

Nah, they look ok. The grey tyres make the black wheels stand out better

I have some 18" black Wolfrace alloys for sale, they looked great on my 20vt.

Link to For Sale thread.

mmmmmmmm black wheels

I've said it before and I'll probably say it again many many times on here: Black wheels on a coop are just not right.

And I'll say it again for you "BLACK WHEELS DO NO LOOK GOOD ON A COUPE!" IMCO

hmmm this has really got me thinking, I've got a wine red coupe, and think the standard wheels sprayed may look fantastic. Prob not black but anthracite... Anyone seen this or like to share their opinion?

Black wheels on a Wine Red, may look a bit too dark, but if you want a dark Coupe, then they'd look ok.

Otherwise, yes, anthracite would look better

Fleas looked nice with dark wheels!

Kev

they look great against the yellow.
i now after seeing some of you guys cars think the black wheels do look good on a coupe.

I like black wheels too actually,

After a quick photoshop I reckon they look pretty good on mine

They certainly do

Ive black team dynamics on my sprinty much better than the std ones.

For me, it's regardless of whether black wheels are fitted to the Coupe or any other make & model. It's just black wheels tend to make the tyre look grey, as said above.

I'd be constantly using tyre shine stuff to keep them looking dark against the black wheel if it were my car.

I guess I just associate black/dark wheels with being dirty, and bright alloy/silver wheels with looking fresh and clean.

is it me or does the balck wheels make the car look more aggressive

I think so too, just looks angrier or something Not to every ones taste's though.

don't know if I'll go ahead with it though yet.

Black wheels are ace. I have fitted 5 different sets to mine now and they all look good, especially if you have red calipers. Anthracite is also lovely but I've been having quite a few requests for white recently. BTW I may have a set of 17" satin powder coated anthracite grey Kei Force 10s coming in with Falken tyres in as new condition...

I think black wheels suit coupes with the black strip and no skirts, std wheels in black.
They seem to look great on the naples colour or whatever the maroony/purpley colour is called

looks v nice with black wheels on this coupe. I still sure people will disagree though but there mad. looks more moody.

that looks mint

Anyone interested in a nice fresh set of black refurbed wheels, 20vt, £220 plus your wheels.
£220 + £100 Refundable deposit on return of your old wheels.

The way it works is i get a set of refurbed wheels sent to me and charged £320, as long as your old wheels are returned within 1 week and are not buckled i/you get £100 back.
The company i use do it this way because they understand that not everone can park there car up for a week on axle stands while the refurb is carried out.

sheep, please refrain from posting any more about the above on this thread.

I let you off with your first post about the wheel refurb, but as you are continuing, then you need to make another thread about this in the correct section of the forum, such as For Sale or Group Buys.

Thanks.

I also chose black rims to my Coupe.
