Default Black Wheels

Does anyone have black wheels? Specifically I'm looking for pictures of the American Racing Teflons or perhaps the Black Mountain Crawlers.

Thanks,
Abrams

Abrams:

Sorry my wheels aren't all black (Blk & Alum), nor are they aftermarket, but they might give a partial clue to what you are looking for--you miight blacken the outer parts in Photoshop or similar, if you have it.

I thought of doing all black but decided the gray truck needed something else. What color is your truck? Seems to me it will make a difference as to how any particular color wheel will looks.

All the best.

this is to keep your scrambled eggs from sticking to your wheels...

No really, why would they bother coating a wheel in teflon?
Brake dust will stick to anything and even a teflon pan gets water spots on it.

I never said it was intelligent or smart.....but thats basically what it amounts to.... its a teflon coat finish...

yeh I dont get it, mixing wheels with cookware

as Gallagher says "what makes the teflon stick to the pan?"
of course he also poses the question "what would a chair look like if your legs bent the other way"
so it doesnt have to make sense...

I saw one ad where the Teflon coated wheels were marketed to keep "mud and dirt from sticking to the wheels". Personally, I just really like the look. There is a Ford Superduty around town where I live that is running the 17"x9" (my best guess) with 37" SSRs. The truck is black as well. The whole package looks really nice.

Regards,
Abrams
