I've never had a bad comment on my wheels yet (fortunately lol):
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.
you got the right idea.
