Senior S550 Owners Like Black Wheels?

Take them off, wash and clean them....then Ceramic Coat inside and outside! Then buy a set of Ceramic Brake Pads... next to zero dust!! If you do, it’ll simply rinse right off!! What size tires and brand did you go with?. Mine are 20x11’s with NITTO 555G2’s 315/35. And 20x10’s front with NITTO 555G2’s 275/35. Search these sites for Ceramic Coating...you’ll see the difference it makes!! Good luck

I just bought this stuff today and plan on putting it on the whole car and wheels. Hopefully it’s a good polish/wax. I clean my wheels almost every time out.
I’m 76 BTW, and love black wheels. Black nuts are on my list.

Thanks for your information. I went with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. 275/35/20 in front, 305/30/20 in rear. Im going to ceramic coat them tomorrow !

Ceramic coating wheels saves a lot of time later when it's time to clean.

59 here! I wanted something similar to the factory wheel with my 17 California Special. I like the factory wheels but they are too skinny of a wheel. So i went with Shelby CS-11 wheels in black with a polished lip. They are 20x11" in rear and 20x9 1/2" in front. They really look great in my opinion but they collect a lot of dust! Im always cleaning the wheels!

you got me by 2yrs!! I’m not a fan of Black wheels personally! ...the new Hybrids are supposed to be pretty good!! But the brake dust comes from your Ford Pads... change those to Ceramic Pads....poof...next to zero dust!! ...let us know how it turns out pls!! Cheers!!

Just hit 50 a little while ago. For me depends on the color of the car. I’m really liking black on black with my new Mustang.

Also like the PP2 wheels, gun metal would be how I describe color

I've never been a fan of black wheels. Then I bought my current vehicular addiction and had no option to order anything but black!
I was planning on changing wheels or getting them powder coated. Once I got used to the car, I didn't think a s550 Shelby would look right with anything other than black.
I'm a convert... I drank the Kool-Aid... I confess... I'm guilty... I'm a changed man... I was wrong... I see the light... What was I thinking?... Was I crazy?................................................................................................... Once you go Black... ( I should NOT have typed this last comment)

Mine are polished, but I like black when they contrast with body color and coordinate with black accents.

Am I reading you right, you like the black wheels, are you talking about the wheels that came on the car?

Cuzzzzzzzzzz if you are they are not really black. I say a dark gun metal, silver/black, heavy on the black.

Turned 50 a few months ago and decided to buy myself this birthday present as I am now officially old, and could go at any time. You can tell my preference. My step dad is 68 and has a 2 year old vette with black wheels as well, on a blue car, it's very sharp.
