Does anyone have any pictures of Black rims on a Black P5?

I'm getting new rims for my Black '03 P5, and am considering getting them in black with a polished lip. I am just a little worried how they will look on my car.

I've tried the tools at Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct that let you see the wheels on your car, but they really don't give a good, real world, idea of how it will actually look.

For a long time I thought silver was the only way to go when it came to wheels. I've since seen some cars (on this forum) that have changed my mind. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to take the plunge.

Thanks,

Does Anthracite count?

If so, these are 15" Team Dynamics Racing ProRace 1.2's:

Thanks for the picts. Hopefully I can get a few more to help with my decision.

Eddie, how come you went down from the stock 16" size?

MTV, are those stock P5 wheels that you had painted or are they an aftermarket product?

Thanks again,

Lower rotating weight (These weigh about 12 pounds each), better race tires available in 15 rather than 16 (225/45R15 and 205/50R15), lower unsprung weight, and so on. I'm all about performance, and appearance comes in a close... Uhh... Fifth? =) Something like that! I like how the wheels look, overall, and that's awesome, but the performance gained is all I'm looking for. The 7" width is great for proper sidewall support, and running the +40 offset up front and the +45 in the rear is CRAZY helpful in the balance of the car.

I have black p5 with falken torque 5s will get you a pic this weekend if the weather is good
 
Well I'm nearly sold. I am definitely digging the look with the machined lip.

Nomad, do you have any additional pics in a higher res? PM me and I can give you my e-mail address.

Evade, you make me almost not want to mod my P5 since I know I will never come close to what you've achieved. I'm in awe. I think I'm going to just go buy myself a trophy from goodwill for motivation :)

Thanks again for all your pics.

Thanks, but its taken 6 long years just get the car looking the way she is today and that how long i owned her since buying brand new! Im still not done modding yet either and more little things to get done and changed=) Its fun building up slowly to get to your goal of what you want done and in the end you enjoy it more from the hard work and money you put in. And when im done i aint going to sell and part out like most people who have finished their project=) funny thing too is the the Tribute nozzle mod that you got is something im been wanting to get done and will happen soon!
