I may be late to this party but I would like to show my hatred for black wheels...you just can't appreciate a black wheel since it just sorta blends in/disappears.

Completely black rims get lost but black rims with polished lips look a lot better because of the contrast, IMO. What's behind the rims stands out even more in rolling shots. They also hide dust much better so you can go longer between cleaning. Makes for a very aggressive/sporty look too. It's a love/hate thing. I took my black Epsilons off in favor of a more traditional silver weave rim (Style 5's). I still have the Epsilons but I wanted a 2nd set of rims to change up the look. Everything old has become new again. BBS weaves are very old school but people put them on E36's and newer BMW's. Black rims were for muscle cars and Porsches, now they are on everything. Chrome was the big thing in the 80's, who knows it might make a comeback this decade. We already polish lips up to look like chrome and I've seen a few sets of fully chromed BBS RS floating around.
