Default Ordered New Wheels today

I just ordered the American Racing Fuel 8 wheels in black. 17x8. They will take about a week to get here from the west coast.
I hope the attachment works.

Nice wheel, I too went with a black wheel. Did you get new tires as well?

Not now. I am trying to decide if I want to lift it or not, and if so, how much. If I lift it, I will need tires that are appropriate for the inches of lift. I have never had black ones before, but with all the black on my Red Rock Rubi, I though they would look great.

Why do most black tires have silver around the edge or the center cap or both. Attention aftermarket! There is a market for an all black simple looking wheel in aluminum. Yes, I know there are the teflon options, but those are just too much money. Paint it black, or anodize it black, or powder coat it black and sell it for $150 or less for a 17x10, 5 on 5.
