You know, I think both those cars look distinct and hot. They might not be what everyone wants, but that's what makes horse racing. I'm glad to see some creative juices flowing here!

The wheels are unique and certainly different, they are nice.

Casper,

You tried to use that same excuse on a different board. The statement is racist, period. Or maybe I shouldn't be that strong...

What sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage do you feel likes black wheels?

Never mind. Let's just say that the wheels are cool but not mainstream, they appeal to a smaller population.
Are you trying to accuse small people of liking black wheels?

Glad to see my post has stired some differing opinions. Figured this would happen. I'm surprised my wheels, something different and not mainstream, has brought some sheltered views to the forum.

As far as as using the word "ethnic", probably a poor choice in words but, yes, I am part of a "sizeble group" that prides themselves on individuality and being different. A part of a "smaller population" that prides themselves on taking their car to to next level, and not conforming with the norm.

Thanks to all that like what they see and for putting in your 2 cents worth!!

Good call LouDawg.

Besides, if you were to call it Ethnic meaning race, let us not forget about the TV classic Knightrider. Black Pontiac Firebird with Black "Twinkies".
