I'm not a real fan of the black wheels, but this looks exceptional love the contrast with the white body color.

black wheels are fast

Black wheels on white cars are great. Black wheels on black cars are not. Black wheels on every SUV is apparently the future.

I hate black wheels on everything MOST of the time. I had to do it because it's a Rabbit Edition (OEM black wheels and mirrors and spoiler).

But the Apex SM10s look way better on it (also black). Would look weird with any other color because of the other black trim IMO. I had a friend Photoshop different color wheels before purchasing and I couldn't NOT get black ones.

Literally any other color car... Graphite grey or bronze all the way. I'll probably end up with one set of each eventually

Bronze is always the answer, but black does look really good too.

I'm 90% sure I want the brushed VR-S5, but bronze is so tempting for a Lapiz car.

I have dark bronze on my white rabbit edition and love the way it looks. Kind of 80's retro to me.

I disagree...

And I continue to think they'd be better in silver, gunmetal or pink. The chrome work helps though, too often SUV's seem to get black wheels with a blackout trim kit too, which is just silly. Of note, I hate polished wheels more than black, and I suspect Lincoln probably has that option too, so you took the lesser of two evils. They are making some extraordinarily good looking trucks right now, nice unit.

bentin surely you jest, pink. Silver fine with all GTI colors gunmetal fine with most body colors, PINK LOL!

On a black car? I'm just saying I'd take pink over black wheels. I guess I just don't like Darth Vader, but all black is too much.

 

[Gray_Panther]

Is black a color or a shade?

 

[GTIfan99]

Red wheels black car still Darth Vader. Just saying.
