Black rims = Racing Wheels. Would you ask the same question of NASCAR, F1 Lemans, IMSA, Indy or Cart? Those are some of the most appealing cars in world.

And different choices from yours does not mean its "Gheto!"

Why do some people prefer Pepsi over Coke? Pepsi is so ghetto and clearly is an attempt to copy Coke-a-Cola.

let's start another thread:
Just like why do people lower their SUV ( those big ass ones- expedition / escalade) and put those huge huge rims with little rubber- defeats the whole purpose of the vehicle

Variety is the spice of life. It's hard to like something you're not used to until you get bored with the norm.

it's all personal preference.

imho, black centered wheels have been played out for a while now. but it still works well on some rides.

people use black wheels on track cars because of all the brake dust that gets generated. so it's easier to take care of.

it looks good if u have the right kind of rims and your car matches the color of the rims. ex: porsche used to (not sure if they still do) have the option of having your rims painted to match your body color from the factory

HAHA! Bout time I met someone who hated nascar too.

Damn rednecks took over speedchannel..now I have to wait til 1AM to watch WRC

Hey I think Nascar is the only place where you can bring your own beer and get drunk in the stands. Makes things a little more exciting when your cousin starts lookin pretty hot from them beer goggles.
