black wheel opinions?

ehoffman · 03-23-2015, 10:05 PM

I currently have 19 in OEM wheels Style 230.
I decided for a more comfortable ride and bought some Beyern Spartan 18 in Matte Black wheels: http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...partan1895mblk

Just curious of what your thoughts were on the 'black on black' look.
Here is a picture of my current setup, I'll post the new wheels when I get them on...

I think black makes it hard to see the wheels. I would go with gunmetal on black.

I love the black on black look. The wheels look like the VRM 710 just not concave. I think it would look sick as long as there's a drop. Just recently got tints (not in this picture) and actually looks even better with all black

heres mine.

I went the Beyern Spartan instead of the VMR 710 because the Spartans are rotary forged. Strangely enough, I was more concerned with the structure of the wheel then the actual appearance. Didn't want to crack or bend a wheel in 6 months on a pot hole or train tracks...

Looks good, I would have went with meaty-er tires.
