I always kind of contemplated black wheels on mine, but never did it... I think it would look good because of how I have a lot of black on my car(well not this one yet, but I did on my old one and will basically make this one just like the old one). It does look good on hotstang's, I just love the chrome 95 Cobra R wheels so it's hard for me to pull the trigger on anything else. I think it would have looked good on mine, but can't decide if it would look better.

Oh man...... You NEED to try black on that car. A good compromise for you would be Black Chrome. In my opinion nothing looks nicer than a white vert with a black top, a lite window tint, and some black wheels.

I have a white BMW set up just with same exact color combo as you except with black wheels, and man it looks nice.

On my stang I've done Black, Hyper Color, Silver, Chrome, and White. White does look awesome. I came very very close to going with white instead of the black on my car. At times I get ancy for a change, I could see white wheels in my life again in the future.

Here's a slightly more recent picture of that car though(actually 4 days later). But like I said, I have an 03 now and the plan is basically to make it just like the old one plus the few things I was still planning on doing. Right now my 03 has an ugly white top though, I can't stand it. It's actually grown on me a little, but black top still looks way better plus with a white top I'm sure you can imagine how it looks in some places now that it's about ten years old.

A guy I work with painted a set of 03 cobra rims white and put them on a white 98 cobra. They look pretty sweet. If I had a white car, I would give white rims some serious consideration. Not to say black rims are out of the question but it seems white wheels suit white cars. My 2 cents

I will have access to more pictures for you later today. This is the only pic I have on this computer. ABSOLUTELY do it! I had my heart set on black chrome but when I showed up at the powdercoater I did not like the sample he showed me. So I decided on high gloss black. I absolutely love it. I've never received anything other than compliments about the rims. I'll give you a before pic too. I think it toughens up the look of the car.



Here is the before. They were gunmetal in this pic. It looked nice but it looks waaaaay better black
