whats the opinion of you guys fitting black wheels to a coupe.

i've been looking at some black wheels and like quite a lot of them but not sure if they'd look good on a coupe or a bit chav like.

awful.

in my opinion.

but its your car so do as you wish!

They look excellent on a Coupe

i'm not getting any (well unless it's a good deal) just interested to know what people think.

and on your blue car they look fantastic.
it really looks like it is going to depend on what colour coop there on.
nice coupe Theresa by the way

i think wheels are a very personal choice
no matter what YOU like, someone else will hate it
and vice versa

Doody, to what extent is your Coupe modded?

it's not, only has a gtec 1 chip

so no sideskirts, lips, spoilers etc?

yes all the plus bits, why?

this is what it would look like- to an extent

and this

(nice, in my opinion!)

does look nice, that one looks lower than mine

yeah black wheels looks decent on the following Coupe colours- yellow, porto, white, sprint, red, black, scots green, chrono, silver- erm all of them.

its a subtle mod in my opinion which doesn't look crazy

They look amazing in my opinion. Here's what they look like on a red one..(mine!)

this thread is talking myself in to getting black wheels.

nice car too swiftpete, i've been drooling over red coupe's for a while now.

swiftpete, coop there

really didn't think it would suit a yellow coupe but this thread is enlightening me

Doody, just to clarify, would it be the standard alloys darkened, right?

Black wheels are as stylish as wearing sandels..
with black socks !

funky!

no i was just looking at alloys and noticed how many black wheels were on the market.

i've been looking for months for the right alloy wheels and think i've got down to two azevs a or c or the same ones flyingcustard has

whats wrong with sandels and socks lol only joking.

the mrs hates seeing people with sandels and socks.

Doody have a try on the wheel demo application

its got the azev A and C alloys on it

Black wheels are horrible. They are a very unsubtle mod which once again is a lemming-like attempt to keep up with modern trends in "personalising" your car.

Don't do it. End of.

Discaimer: The above represents my personal opinion. Other opinions are available.

i'd forgotten all about that, thanks

i was going to put black wheels with red rim on my red coupe but have decided to go silver for a fresher look.
although having said that if I had a broom yellow for me it would have to be a set of dotz anthracite alloys with a yellow lip on them with matching fuel cap.

i think these would look awesome on a broom yellow, almost tempted to break my red one and get a broomer!!!

i'm not too sure about the yellow lip, i had a panda 100hp which i bought some black wheels with a polished lip, they looked good on the panda but for a coupe dont know.

a young lad round the corner from me has some black wheels on his black civic and they have a red lip don't really like them but then thats probably 'cus i hate the old civics

it's one of those where you'd have to see a picture of them on a coop
they do remind me of a ferrari with wheels like that i see

AlanW sometimes I think that you are Chris Bangle

Have you seen the video I made? it doesn't have any chavvy ones- all nice ones, I think you will like it.
