Bling vs. Black

[Texas91Brent]

Ok guys what looks better on a black nsx: All polished or chrome 5 star bling bling style wheels or Polished lip with high gloss black 5 star rims? I have bbs style silver with polished lips now 17/18. I will be upsizeing to 18/19 I think. What do yall think?

I think polished or chrome looks better than black wheels. (Black wheels remind me of dirty wheels and/or spare tires and similar crappy steel wheels.)

However, I think other colors and finishes - notably brushed aluminum, or paint in silver or gunmetal gray - look better than either one.

before i saw this black nsx with black wheels i thought the nsx would look better with chrome/polished wheels but after i saw them i think black/black wheels is really nice.

black with polished lip looks really aggressive on the right color car.

black all the way. chrome is for trucks and 4 door luxury cars

I have white Type R wheels, on my black car. It doesn't look at silly as it sounded before I got the wheels.

 

[Texas91Brent]

I like black on Polish lip but never have enough guts go get it. so I end up with Silver on polish wheels all the time.

If i have a black nsx i will install a gloss black with a polish lip 19 & 18.
See the mercedes, bentley's in black color with these color wheels.

Never thought I liked the black centered wheels till I saw this thread, has a very agressive look to it. Still, I think I prefer the gunmetal, just slighly more 'low-key' or 'subdued' looking. One more GM/Polished lip 5 spoke.

My New Wheels!... Not quite Black, but Gunmetal! Volk LE-28N's

 

[4AU4LIFE]

my choice

I would have to say black/polished lip.

 

[blknsxnoc]

nice pics and nice wheels..

i am almost swayed by black wheels with a polished lip but i have to side with Ken..

generally speaking, black wheels look cheap and gunmetal wheels always look like they're covered in brake dust.... chrome or polished always look right on black cars.. JMHO as always.

I decided on Black - had the stock wheels painted Berlina Black. I know, I know...I need to get my ride detailed!
