These are 17x7.5 SSR RSC's.

 

Not exactly black, but these come in black (with or without a polished rim)...

 

MotorOn, you're the first I've seen to run a 50 series sidewall. Any rubbing issues because of the added height, and is your car lowered at all? One of the things I like so much about your setup is the way the wheel well is filled and you actually have a sidewall (better ride I'm assuming).

Catseye: Those are gunmetal I assume? They look almost black . . . and look great on your car.
Thanks

 

Still on the stock springs with no real rubbing issues (as long as I can avoid the bottomless Chicago potholes, thankfully I'm out of town for an extended period). I went with the 50s cause they were what was in stock, the ride is certainly smoother than the 40s and the runflats were, but I don't notice a huge change over the 45 non RFs. I have plans to lower the car, so we'll see how that turns out.

 

Not the best pic, but the best i could find!

 

A wee bit late, but can I join in as another black wheels fan?

edited to add: 17" Rota Slipstream in flat black

 

17" O.Z. Ultraleggera

 

Thanks guys. My JCW Black R105's came in Friday. Now....If only my car would get here.

 

Didn't want to start a new thread, so here goes:

Does anyone know if you can paint a polished lip black? I want ASA AR1 in gloss black, but I don't like the polished lip, so I would like to know if you all think that I could have just the lip painted to match, or if I'd have to repaint the whole wheel?

 

My guess would it would be VERY hard to match the sheen of the wheel, so you'll probably have to have the entire wheel done. Try it and see. You can always go back and repaint if the sheen doesn't match.

 

These are 18" JCW GP wheels...

 

These are 16x7 BBS RK's which I had powdercoated black
wrapped in Hankook RS2's

 

sexiest wheels ever. You rarely see black.

Konig Feathers, 17x7, flat black

 

S-Lites, painted black

 

thanks! I really wanted black wheels and have always drooled over RKs. So when i got a dirty set of them and a new powdercoater started working down the street from me....it seems liked fate

 

Hey jthorst75. Where are you located? I'm in Kaiserslautern also - near the University.

 

Well, since I started this thread I feel obligated to post.

Picked up Simon today and here he is with his new shoes.

 

Cor, imagine that in Dark Silver...


Seriously though that does look rather good.

 

verrrry nice

 

JCW's w/o center caps!

 

does anyone know of a powdercoater in the San Diego area. I would love to make mine black.
