Black 4.8 E70 w/ Black Wheels?

Has anyone put black wheels on their black E70? If so can you post some pics? I like the look on certain cars (Range Rover, E Class Merc, 7 series). I had kicked around the idea of doing it on my E53 but it didn't look right in my opinion.

yeah man, black wheels is in now. The chrome wheels and those wack spinners is pretty much fading out. Those pics jimsaq posted is actually my set-up I pic it up thursday, they are installing the aero kit. I will admit it takes a little time to get use to seeing because you are use to the chrome or silver alloys.

Boils down to individual taste. Not a fan myself. Too much black. I like to see some contrast: black on white, or white on black. But I guess some folks like it. Look at Jagr on the Rangers, he's got the black skate boot and the black blade holder. Just about everyone else has the standard white blade. (Pardon the hockey analogy, big fan )

Not a fan of the black wheels myself but its a personal choice and you should do what you like.

PHOTOSHOP....CAN I SAY IT ANY LOUDER!


If someone is to choose wheels for their X5, then i would take time to make a choice because it can either make your X look alot better or alot worse, mainly cause the X does come with nice stock wheels esp if you have opted for the sports package. Painting the stock sports package wheels black would look sick also if that is your choice.
