    Black wheels?
    « on: June 26, 2010 - 02:01:46 AM »
    Just hopping on getting some of your opinions on what black wheel to get for my car. I know there are some of you that think its a dumb idea. But I really think it would look good on my car.

    I was looking into getting police wheels, or plain steel wheels with dog dish caps.

    I like the black steely look myself.  I had picked up a set of 15x7 cop car rims with trim rings and center caps a few years ago at carlisle for 200 bucks.  They looked good on my 66 coronet vert.

    Does anyone sell 17" steel wheels for the Mopar bolt pattern?

    wheel vintiques has some, but I believe they are chev offsets and BP's.

    I love the steel wheel look. I'm going from ralley's to color match (limelight) steel wheels. black is great too. Its whatever  YOU like.

    I always liked the black cop carwheels, especially with dog dishes or just chrome lugnuts. Then I found the Cragar Soft 8. Just as cool, and available in 10" width.
