Black with a chrome lip or silver wheels on an S4?

Yeah I think it will go well with the S4 moldings. They make a Gunmetal, but I thought it might look odd.

This is the kinda thing were you just gotta man up and decide for yourself..


Not trying to be a jerk or anything but if you ask questions like this, it makes me wonder if you want to build the car or if you want us to do it for you..

Good luck picking out some wheels.

Black and cheap wheels don't mix, IMO

Go with silver.

Although, if you're going with XXR, only wheels worth getting are the 002s IMIO

I have yet to see a car that looks better with black wheels than with silver. They make it look like you're driving around on 4 spares with no hubcaps.

Go with silver or chrome.

Get silver. You can always paint them black later on. Or, get black and paint them silver later on.

I'd get the 962's in gold.

just for comparison, here's mine with silver wheels. I've thought about getting darker wheels or painting mine dark silver/gunmetal/graphite/etc. I've never really cared for white and silver together, though it looks much better in real life.

edit: oh sorry, mine is an S5.

I think the black goes well with the strip on S4s

Yeah I'm sure it looks better in person, and the trim was the reason I was gonna get black wheels. And even if i do convert to S5, I'll probably paint the trim black...
