Default I need help. which rim do you all like?

Okay so I have these two choices to stick with the dark or go with the nice silver I'm not sure I would like to get some opinion before I make the switch of course the silver one you see is not the original size they didn't have the 20 so they showed it to me in a 22 so just think of it as the original size but I'm looking more at the color and the style please give me any input that you might have

I'd go silver. Think you lose the look in black.

Another vote for silver here, the spokes are almost delicate and their beauty would be lost in black.

I'd go with black for your light paint color and silver only for a darker paint color car.

are those Niche Targas? I was looking at them for my car previously - liked em a lot. I think the 20's look larger because they spokes reach out so far

i think they make em in a medium to dark gray (gunmetal ish) color too if you're torn between

+1 Silver

Black wheels lose their design detail and 'newness' fairly quickly. Although the black wheels showcased here are dark greyish with a matte finish (non glossy), they will turn brown as brake dust accumulates and generally look worse with daily use. Although the 'black' wheels do compliment the decal and over all look in contrast with the white paint, silver would be a better choice since they wont demand frequent detailing of the wheels and show less wear and tear.

In short, you will be happier with the silver ones in the long run.

Good luck with your pick!

I grew up in the era when if you had black wheels, it meant that all you could afford was the base model and you must have lost the little dog-dish hubcaps somewhere along the way. So that's what all the old geezers are probably thinking, especially when they see you going down the road with the wheels spinning and can't see any details, just a black disk. So chalk up about 108 million votes for anything but black on behalf of everyone who has already gotten their invitation letter to join the AARP.
