I'm personally not a fan of black wheels either but these don't look too bad.

Wow, really? Your taste may be different than his, but why try to insult his choice?

it wasnt an insult..and besides hes a big boy Im sure he can handle differing opinions. Its just that style is kind of dead yet still over played by every dudebro in this city who is late to the wheel party.
the other is blacked out with a red pin stripe around the edge.

Big boys can handle differing opinions, and even the occasional insult. Big boys also aren't afraid to cop to insults when they make them. You should try it some time instead of attempting to weasel out of it.

Actually, you're both right. Breakfast's comment was insulting, and the black/w chrome lip wheels do look like Discount Tire in some cases.
That said, there is a long, proud Porsche history of black centers and polished lips -- the vast majority of 911s from 78-89 were delivered with Fuchs in just that configuration, and the ones that weren't black were often body-color.

To NoGaBiker's point, Black Centers on chrome lips has been around a really long time for Porsche. I like the look and wanted my Champion RG5s to be different from everybody elses who are silver.

fuchs are something entirely different.
anyways, I guess some are bored but I really dont give a sh*t to net debate and play semantics. I dont like them and stated why. It wasnt insulting and shouldnt be. If it is you should get off the internet. King James will be fine despite my opinion of them. Im an OEM wheel person myself. That doesnt mean I cant appreciate some nice aftermarket wheels(because im not one of THOSE guys).

THIS^
bottom line is we all have opinions which is why this thread has as many pages as it does.
some people are ok with mediocre looking wheels and thats ok...
