Pie N Chips had his done like that - looked very good.
They were anthracite rather than black though!

Have a look through these for more pics!

I had BBS's on my Golf - tbh I hated them and flogged them on ebay.

Top pic looks nice though.

I like. I was thinking of getting my 6-spoke BBS wheels refurbed black, but as is often the way with my plans I didn't get around to it.

I don't think it would look as good on a car that wasn't lowered though.

I think they look great! Its one of the mods I'm planning by the end of the summer. I was hoping to go for some Spoon Replica's in Matt Black, but will spend the cash elsewhere so will either go Matt Black finish or dark Anthracite. Looking at at DIY job as well. I'll post details when I get around to it.

Thought I would upload a few piccies that I have used to make my decision.









I think I prefer the Matt or Anthracite finish to the glossy black in the last one though.
