Thanks man, yes back and forth for a while on color choice but an already blacked out car with tinting windows this week I felt black wheels should work. Really liked the deeper/concaved rears.
those are some serious rides of yours, I love it. Maaan I love all cars..it is a disease.

I'm not a black wheel fan but this ride altogether looks great.

My metallic grey coupe V6S came with black wheels and I always thought I would have preferred silver ones. This was until I saw a silver-wheeled one parked next to mine. I don't know if it's just my age (64), but now I think that silver wheels are something out of the 70's and 80's.
Black wheels make the F-type look more aggressive and modern IMHO.

I've been doing black wheels all the way back to the XJs I've had. I describe the change the same - The car went from elegant looking to angry looking...LOL.

I'm on numerous car forums. This wheel color discussion is universal among car people. There are some threads hundreds of posts long just discussing the love/hate of black wheels. Especially true on Corvette forums.

Every once in a while, someone will comment - Black wheels are just a fad. I always disagree and remind them that black wheels are a tradition not a fad that will ever go away. Black wheels were here at the start and have never failed to appear on cars/trucks throughout history.
