Toneaero,

the tires are Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas - great tires.

IMO, matte black is terrible. they look small and sort of dissappear. I'd go for a stock+ look. stock but better and bigger. keeps is classy.

I was going to post a wise ask "go white, and tint the glass white too"... the whole mononchromatic thing.

But I like black- give it an edgy feel, the black tire+rim is aggressive and no-nonsense. Set off by the white. I'm not a 'big rim' guy, imo that is a silly style that has zero function, so no need to create contrast to show off the rim size.

black is so played out and in most pics and in person you cannot tell the definition of the wheel...so why bother?

That'd be the cheapest way to find out if you like the look AFterall.. it's what YOU like the most that matters over what any of us say.

alpine white really looks good with black wheels.. I don't like chrome wheels on my car.. bling-bling not my style.. It's my personal opinion
