Not those in the photo for starters!

I doubt they're load rated and the tyres are too small and definitely not load rated!

This is mine with recently refurbished Porsche cups, in black.

i have a set of these, would like nice in black....sitting in my front room at the moment.....

I personally think black wheels look great... heres mine, Merc ML 16"

See if someone can photoshop your current wheels surf carrot so you can see what they look like? I think they really suit certain vans & have black wheels with a polished lip on mine although they are in need of a refurb. If you go the polished lip route, you really need to ensure they are cleaned/polished regularly or corrosion will take hold. Here's a pic of mine (I've absolutely no idea of the make though!):

Thanks everyone. Loving all your black wheels. Got some thinking to do. Any recommended suppliers folks?

To me black wheels without a polished lip just look like you can't be arsed to wash your wheels!!
