Default OEM Wheels in Gloss Black

I haven't seen a RNBP with black wheels before & wasn't 100% sure about two dark colours but that looks really nice

Maybe a dumb question but can you not get black wheels nuts or have yours sprayed just to finish it off?

With mine I kept the centres and nuts silver, which looks much better IMO.

Sorry don't think it goes with dark blue.

Dark wheels alway look smaller than they are and emphasise the gap between the arch and the tyre. I'm not a fan personally. Nice shiney OEM diamond cut finish looks best IMO.
