The Homeslice Critiques Your Ride Thread
This is the thread where we will post photos of our bikes and cars and (hopefully) the 'slice, expert on all things visual, will give us expert critique and give us suggestions on how we can improve their looks.
I'll start with my truck. This is the only photo I have with the new wheels on it: Dark tint, black KMC Addicts. 18", down from the stock 20s. I was going for a "functional 909" look that wouldn't rattle my teeth on washboard roads. (this is all meant in good fun, in case people were thinking about getting insulted at all this) |

Those wheels look like Azoom's, are they?
Personally, I'm just never gonna like it too much, because only gray vehicles look good with black wheels IMO. What can I say, I'm way old school, I grew up in an era when most cars had hubcaps. And when those hubcaps got stolen, you were left with an ugly black wheel. So that's the mental image that comes to mind whenever I see black wheels -- It looks like someone who can't afford to replace their hubcaps. Can't help it. |
