What colour are these wheels?

[panhead]

Are these Rapier copy wheels silver or is my eyesight shot and they're actually black

They look black to me and what I like about them, is someone has taken the time to give 'em a real good polish.

They've come up nice.

Is this like one of those "what colour is this (insert random piece of clothing)" games and everyone sees it as a different colour ?

I remember the first set of shadow chrome wheels I saw in the mid '90's looked like polished alloy coated in brake dust and I grabbed a bit of rag to clean them. Discovering it's not brake dust and they're intended to look like that, I'm thinking what idiot would try to replicate a dirty wheel look like it's a good thing, they're off their heads!

From the black wheel look "old VK with the hubcaps missing" obsession that later occurred with silver wheels a rarity, I was seriously shocked to see these Rapier copy wheels in silver unless they're shadow chrome and look silver in that particular lighting.

Not to be critical of people who like black wheels, but I hate them that much on red, I already had the Simmons wheels painted silver and ready to go before my Redline Ute rolled up on the truck from QLD where I bought it from!

I HATE black wheels.
Does that make me a wheel racist?

Iv'e got wait for it, black wheels on my red vh and though I'm not really a wheels person think they look good. So take that with bells on it.

I hate black wheels too with a passion and likewise a "wheel racist", I can't see this image (below) and find any good in it whatsoever!

Here's a black and silver wheel comparison on red, my old R8 and a mate's GTS. The black wheels on the GTS ruins the car in my eyes!

i think the odd bit is the yellow callipers with a red car. Either the same colour as the car or black.
