Default looking for inexpensive black wheels

looking for black winter wheels and inexpensive is key. series 52 procomp black steel wheels seem like the ticket considering I can get 5 shipped for well under 500. The problem is, I can't seem to find black centers for them. Anyone know where to get black centers for these wheels?

Check out Black Rocks. Their steel wheels are nice design and can be had for about $65 each and include the center caps. I ordered the Lobos.

I just got these... $99 each, shipped to your local Discount Tire for free.

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...r=1&wd=15&rw=8

They're forum sponsors and they come with $50 instant savings. They also come with a center cap for free.



Just giving you another option.

Summit Racing has the cheapest prices I've seen.

For center caps, you might try this...

Default black wheels

i just ordered some black rock 15x10 steel wheels that look just like the cragar soft 8's. their matte black with a matching center cap. also ordered 33x13.5 15" toyo open country mt's. ill post pics if you can gimme some time for everything to come in. paid 303 shipped for 4 of the black rocks. only downside is that i actually have to wait 2 to 4 weeks for black rock to make them and ship them to me. but im sure that itll be worth the wait.

Don't let the silver/chrome center cap stop you from buying a black wheel (BTW, Cragar soft 8's seem to be a black, inexpensive, wheel of choice on this site...roughly $70 each, depending on size, I think!)...there's a thread on here somewhere about making home-made center caps from spray paint bottle caps, or something to that effect. Search for that and you'll see what I mean.

IMO the alloy black rock vipers are the only rim I'd consider. At $139 from Quadratec, price is right for me. Now if my 33's would hurry up and wear down already so I can make the jump to 35's and those rims

Gorilla makes black center caps, Summit sells them.
