White VF Ute - Black Wheels?

[tomgoldy]

Gday everyone,

Just got my new 2014 VF Ute (White). Image attached.

Pretty happy with it all but was thinking about changing the wheels, to something black.

Currently fitted with Series 2 VE set which are in great condition.

I was looking into the whole powder coat option (as it is cheaper), strip them right back, and give them a new life in black.

Please share your opinions on doing this, especially on the same set.

Thanks in advanced!

Tom

My opinion should have absolutely no effect on your choice!

Think the black wheel trend is just about over.

Will prolly be back again in about 15 years ... is this a 15yr purchase?

A metallic dark grey, with a finish not unlike the Seppo SS, has a similar quick-glance look to black wheels, except the fact that tyres are grey & not black means it looks a bit less crap (IMHO at least).

I reckon a white wheel with a black face looks the tits on a white car, lots of cleaning but well worth it. Saw a white HSV rocking these G8 wheels:

Black wheels on a white car look good when your next to the car but when looking at a distance it appears that the car has no wheels.

I'm thinking the black wheels with blackout kit has been done by now.
I'm thinking of replacing my VF2 redline rims with something silver.
I'm leaving the chrome kit on too.

Hideous.....
But then if everyone had the same taste the world would be very dull.

Yes totally agree.

The style might not be what your after but the white car with white rims that have a black face really pop. Wish I had snapped a pic of that HSV but here's another car with similar effect:
