Senior S550 Owners Like Black Wheels?

[Phatpony]

Check this one out. Order the 20 8.5 front in a +35 and the 20 10.5 in a +45mm offset. Mine fit like a glove though they are silver with polished face. Find a KMC dealer and tell them the offsets and order them. That is the only way I found to get them setup correctly. LMR only sells the black for some reason. And my wheels were on my 14 GT as well, so the bore and lug hole sizes work on the non PP setups. There is also a +28mm for the front of you want them to sit out a little further which may give enough clearance for PP setups. Would need to speak with a KMC dealer however. And they are under $350 a wheel as I recall depending on dealer,

NP. I think you are limited to 8.5's on the 19 version however. I've seen the finish in real time, and it looks a bit more matte and a slight shade or two to the brown side.

I’m 75 and like them.

Black wheels was one of the things that drew me to my car. I like them. Never thought I would say that seeing as how I've always went with Craiger SS

55 here, not a huge fan of the black wheels or a lot of the designs available for our cars. I think the aftermarket is missing a great opportunity here to bring some of the older styles back to fit the newer mustang. Most all the wheels offered are geared towards the mustang having a new image of being a sports car, instead of a muscle car......I’d rather have mine as a muscle car with some old school chrome or polished aluminum, such as these Centerlines in the pic.

All depends on the car, couldn’t see the orange without the black ‍

Black for the win.... Never been into shiny things

I like the silver 50 anniversary wheels, but now that I've painted the machined spokes on my winter wheels I'm leaning towards the dark side.

53 and not a fan of black wheels. When I was looking for my Stang I kind of knew that black wheels were gonna be on it. So I had every intention of changing them out. But when I bought my car

these 19" wheels changed my mind. These wheels work with the white paint so well. But if I do tire of them I will be getting the 19" split 5 spoke wheels. I love that style best

I won't own a black car ever again however, so I live vicariously through others who are paying the price in cleaning said color.

On a car BLACK is not a color. It's a part-time job.

I've never owned a BLACK car. Never will.

This is my first car with black/ machined wheels and I think they look incredible! I'm 71 and love the silver and black.

65 yrs old, and I have 2 sets of them. One matte for all season tires, and gloss for summer tires.

This is sort of funny, I read somewhere that for the first time they were not gonna include a silver chrome wheel with the new corvette. In the past it had come with silver or chrome wheels because the older crowd that bought them that was all they wanted. but now that younger people are buying corvettes the silver wheel isn't such a best seller any more. funny why is it older people want chrome and silver wheels ? Hell Im almost 50 and I hate, absolutely hate chrome and silver wheels. They are so tacky may as well put gold rims on and curb feelers. LOLOLOL OK just giving ya crap there "old guys" but really why do people over a certain age seem to like chrome and silver wheels ????

Probably because when we were younger most of the muscle cars were sporting these.
If you weren't running Cragar S/S wheels, your car was crap. I'll still keep my black wheels.

This . . . . though before those Cragars became the big thing in the later 60's, it was chrome reverse (steel) wheels.
