Re: Stock rims - 2 colors?

Stock wheels should be as silver as you can make them. Except not chrome, chrome cheapens the look.

I'm not a fan of black wheels on the SVX. Black wheels tend to "disappear" under the car.

The SVX looks purposeful because it has an aggressive stance. You can't determine the stance of a car if you can't see the wheels. The reason touring cars [in European racing I mean] and circuit racing cars look aggressive is because you are aware of the big wheels and the need for grip.

Painting the wheels black and making them disappear is counter-productive if you would like your car to look striking.

That's just my opinion, I've said it before, so feel free to ignore.
