Default Personally, I don't get the whole black wheels thing

Completely cheapens the look of the car, IMO.

Default I agree I don't get it either

I like the stock 5 split spoke wheel better than most any other. I'm sure many of you will not agree but that is my opinion and I want mine to be shiny silver

Default I agree!

I love the stock split spoke wheels also. To the point where it seems ridiculous to spend several thousand dollars on aftermarket rims that I am probably not going to like as much.

I do wish they were 18's though.

Default I like some black wheels.......

with metallic finishes not powdercoat on racing wheels. I would definately get black bbs rg-r's or a similar style wheel if I had the money if i had the money.

Default yea the BBS are great, but I dont want to spend a lot of money on wheels either

I'm happy with the stock 17s. I think they look alright...and they seem very strong. I've driven over a couple big potholes with no effect. I'd be pissed if I spent like $1500 on aftermarket wheels and then have them bend.

This pictue kinda inspired me (and a red B5 S4 I saw at the dealership):

I wouldn't want a real glossy finish like this one though.

Default Sorry to those with Black wheels, but I have to agree.

I can't think of a single color combination that looks better with black wheels than with nice silver wheels. To me, it cheapens the image of the car. That's just mho.

Perfect wheels are the color of brake dust.
