Those thin little spokes hold up under all that horsepower and weight? They look great but fragile.

no problem at all. full forged vossen m-x2 wheels in 20", best wheels i've ever owned (like the look even more than my OEM CF wheels)...

i started with hyper-silver wheels and slowly transitioned to black wheels. my transition in pictures are below.

i got rid of the stock black wheels on day 3 of ownership...

decided i "really do" like stripes with Graphite colored wheels....

i needed some extra horsepower, so i had the Graphite wheels painted gloss black :)

next, transitioned to a 350 and had the wheels powder coated black chrome, which (IMO) provides enough wheel-to-tire contrast for me.

nonetheless, i "do" like black wheels!
They look great!

LMFAO!! Okay, my Lexus Vossen’s were half this - just tried to build a set for the Mustang :cwl:
Ouch! Not happening! That’s almost 25% of what I paid for entire the car brand new LOL!

I'm not a big black wheel fan. But I'm too cheap to change them. 😄

I'm not a big fan of black wheels. Would pay money to get some square lightweight SVE setup. But I do not know how to get rid of oem wheels and they lok like they take space in a garage.

Black wheels have one advantage: they look clean enough even when they are dirty.

I will use my black set for winter and get a new set for summer next year. Just not sure which ones.

Agree with the op - black wheels don't look good on a white car.

. I'm a huge fan of the machined face wheels on my CS. Actually saw an ad for a car with the same wheels I have on the same car but they were painted black. They didn't look near as good as the machined face.

I liked them, until I starting seeing Kia Forte's and minivans with black wheels. Now every car made has an option for black wheels. So it lost its cool "different" vibe.

I get pretending to like something to be cool. But saying you do that can lose more cool points than you gained. :wink:

I dont understand how this solid black wheel thing has become so popular. I think black wheels with a silver lip look good, but solid black dont like it. And that is what my 2021 came with as well. I dont like that you cant really make out the tire from the wheel. Yea up close they are ok but it just looks diry. Does anyone agree with me?

The black wheel "trend" (it's gone on too long to really be considered the fad it really is) is played out, and I can't wait for it to go away.

"Taylored"? For that kind of money, I hope someone named Taylor tailored the wheels. It would also be nice if they specified what comprises the tailoring. I guess literacy is not a condition of employment at Vossen.

Lol @ literacy.
When building the wheel it forces you to pick one of the options. I would guess offset.
