I'm 54 and I like shiny polished aluminum wheels but I kind of like my gt/cs wheels because they do have some silver on them.

Definitely over 50 and I like black wheels on some colors, but I went with black and silver for mine.

Cool big lips, nice retro look. I had a 2007 Lexus IS350 with wheels like that for a while until I switched to a 5 spoke.

Black wheels are okay, but I prefer a silvery gray. That said, anything is better than chrome or polished aluminum - nothing says "old fart" like those choices.

Maybe cause I’m only 48 but loving my silver wheels , so much easier to keep clean and a bit different.

Sooo, I'm 74 going on 20, TRYING to hit 18 with more mods!!:like:
That said, I can take or leave black wheels. Personally, for me, I like a little 'Bling'!!

OK, so there is no separate senior folder yet (and maybe there will never be), but this question is targeted at 50 and up owners. Do you like black wheels? It's fairly obvious they are more popular with the younger crowd.

I did not like them at all when they first became prevalent, but they have grown on me somewhat on cars in certain colors. (Mean look with magnetic.) Even so, I would only consider gloss black because you know when they're clean. Also, mesh style or any intricate spoke pattern seems pointless since it's difficult to see except up close. Black PP1 wheels come to mind. In most cases a charcoal or graphite will show the spoke pattern much better while still giving a darker look.

What do you think of them? :)
Love em.

52 here, luv the black on mine. But that tacky Roush-scoop needs to go, will do something special with a stock bonnet.

Anyway, body-color will determine my option for rim-color, at the end...

Your car looks great. I just purchased a pair of the rush quarter panel Scoops color match tonight magnetic. I always love the old 70s GT350 so we'll see how it looks on my car. I kind of hate putting something on that's not functional but I think they'll look good.

I'm 50 years old and I love black wheels. I'm currently rocking the premium wheels on my 2015 GT but planning on upgrading to the SVE GT350 wheels.
