Default help me pick... Black or Machined ?!?!

I cant decide... I love the stock look, but I need a wider wheel.
Part of the reason I like the stock rubi's is the finish, So it only makes sence to stay the same.
BUT I love the black too.

Going on a "Jeep Green" 2dr

I would go with the machined finish.. Don't get me wrong I love my black wheels, but they are invisible! Will probably switch to a machined finish sometime in the future.

Go with the machined finish. Everybody has black nowadays. I think he machined will look great.

I had black rims and changed them out for these. I'm really happy with the non-black look.

I am with you guys... I feel like the black is sort of a fad that may soon pass.

But if I do... My idea with the black is to 'blast' the ring and clearcoat it.

Something to get this look... IMO a dark color has to at least have a machined lip.

I vote machined, my preference.

The black wheels do seem to be a fad, but I rarely see any on the road. I see a lot of them online.

HighTide your wheels look awesome as do BAJKs wheels.
