Favorite Wheels

I'm curious to know what tastes we have when it comes to wheels. This is a broad question simply because it depends on how they compliment the car but in general what is your favorite type of wheel. How does everyone feel with respect to black wheels vs. chrome wheels vs. polished wheels vs. black wheels with chrome or polished accents? At the end of the day I go pretty safe on my selection, chrome goes with most anything and are easy to take care of, that's how I voted. Tell me what's on your ride or what you like. If you have a picture of your preference all the better.

I like these on most Mustangs.

Re: Favorite Wheels

I voted for chrome, but polished, satin, or silver all work for me.
Maybe I should just say that I don't care for black wheels.
Of course, back in the 60's, I thought a car with black tires instead of whitewalls looked dumb. Times change.

Ain't that the truth and I remember the day.

Re: Favorite Wheels

I like the shiney rims. I guess I'm from the old school.

Absolutely. Actually the Vogue whitewalls were more popular in the 50's.
FWIW, They are still available today.

Re: Favorite Wheels

I voted polished, but I like black too. I actually am going from black steelies to some polished aluminum wheels. They're not Mickey Thompson Classic II's, but look identical



And these are what I have now



I think once they're polished out, they'll look xxxxxin' on my rig. And there's way too many white Jeeps with black wheels in these parts now anywho. I'll post pics when they're on.

Re: Favorite Wheels

I chose satin aluminum because I think they'll go with everything and are rarely too flashy. IMO, wheels are supposed to compliment a vehicle, not the other way around. The flashiest I'd go is a polished lip. My wheels are painted silver and the compliments keep coming.

Re: Favorite Wheels

My vote is for chrome. I am of the opinion that one can never have enough bling.

Do they make clear coated stainless steele wheels?

Re: Favorite Wheels

I voted chrome...I run Breyton chrome five spoke rims on my BMW...I take flack for the chrome on the car at a BMW site but I really don't care....Polished aluminum is another choice but it HAS to be clear coated
