I don't get black wheels for the following reasons:
- All black wheels look the same;
- You lose the "detail" or the "look" of the wheel;
- They look smaller;
With a silver wheel, you can tell from a distance or a glance whether it is an F1, Superturismo, Turini etc. They seem to have more impact.
Bright silver wheels on a black car look stunning.
Even though I have anthracite (car came that way), I don't much like them either.
Oh, and you need a LOT of tyre shine to stop your car looking old and tired.
