Black or Chrome on Black G???

Hey guys, I currently have a black on black G with full stock aero package. I have no other exterior mods right now. I'm having a tough time deciding between chrome or black chrome wheels. I would either get I-Forged chrome 19" evolution wheels, or I-Forged black chrome 19" aero wheels.

The I-Forged website is here:

I think black wheels can look really stupid if they arnt done right. Any input you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any other suggestions of wheels I havnt thought of yet, that would also be appreciated. Imagine price isnt a problem.

Thanks for you input, i appreciate it!

-Mike

black w/ chrome/polish lip IMO. for me, chrome is too flashy even if the bling is sick. i'd floss chromes on bagged trucks, or suv/sav's instead. basically, auto's that don't need to have such a light weight wheel.

yea man chrome does not look good on our cars for some reason, and plus it actually looks cheap becuase there are so many $500 cars with chrome rims, or chrome hubcaps, go with the black chrome. just my 2 cents.

Not a fan of chrome either. I have bronze LMGT4's on my black coupe. Although not everyone is a fan of bronze either.

Ya, I see where your coming from and i pretty much agree with you. The only thing is I know a guy who is selling his 19" Chrome I-Forged Evolutions with new Goodyear Eagle GS-D3's for 2,000. But i guess if i'm going to spend that much money I might as well go the extra mile.

Thanks
-Mike

I am going through the same decision right now. Have you thought about anthracite? I know that the picture is a Ferrari but it gives you an idea of how it goes with black.

Well, there are a lot of combination color to BOTH, such as SBC (special black chrome coating), Platinum Black, Black Gold...

No matter which one you choose, a BLACK G is already THE BEAUTY

hmm, no I hadnt thought about anthracite. It looks cool, but I think I would stick with black chrome. I think the black chrome would look better. What does everyone else think?
