*** Winter setup Blk Style 209 Wheels on my Jet Blk 4.8i ***
I got my OEM style 209, 18" wheels powder coated gloss black. Funny thing is I thought they were at least 19" until I took them in to get the tires mounted...then realized they're only 18"!

I didn't want silver 18" or 19" wheels as they would just look too small after taking off the summer 21" 215's. That's why I got them done black so they would blend in and not look small. I guess they will be covered in snow in no time so it won't really matter!

Anyhow I've got some mixed compliments on these. Some of my friends think it's too much black. My wife thinks they simply look ugly! Tell me what you guys think...thumbs up or down??

I actually worked in a set of winter wheels when I bought the car. I can't remember now but I think they were around the $3.5K range...

I think they look fine. But if there's an issue of "too much black," how about adding a red accent stripe?

Mixed emotions... Presence of fender flares does not help

Take another picture from 3/4 angle...

I like them and agree with you. The all black doesn't make them look as small. The silver would make them look too small.

exactly, because of the fact that there is not tire/rim contrast the wheel looks like one big rim.

They look awesome King. I did the same with my stock 19's. Powdercoated them Gloss Black. Havent put them on yet. Waiting for the Blizzaks to arrive. I love it. Great job.
