I really could care less what anyone thinks about my car, I like it and that's all that matters. I didn't buy my car and do my mods to make other people like it.

So to answer the original poster's question why black wheels?

Because I like them.

Exactly, It's your ride, car or baby. I have and will do what I want to my Cobra. I currently have wheels that no one else has, on any mustang I've ever seen. I love them and people comment nice on them everywhere I go, AND THEY'RE BLACK!
I've tried numerous sets of wheels before and I think my car looks the best now:

1 Stock 1995 Cobra wheels (still use w/ roadracing tires)
2 Silver painted Cobra R's sold
3 Chrome Cobra R's sold
4 Chrome 18" Saleen (real) sold
5 03 Cobra sold

The ones I'm keeping and love:



Tired of people knocking what other people are doing to there mustangs. As long as it's not starting to look like a souped up honda (riced), I say "If you like than great.

Peace, love and exhaust fumes to all.

Still have my silver 98 Cobra rims as well, but everyone has chrome or silver wheels. I wanted to be different.

The Black wheels don't show up well in the video....it's more of an exhaust theme

While I agree all black doesn't look good on a lot of colors... Black wheels can look damn good.

Ok I know this is a 4.6 forum, but it does have black wheels. I couldnt decide between chrome or black but ended up with these. I love them and have had a few compliments about them.

I liked the way my black bullets turned out. It just has to be the right body color to go with the rims?
