hi i got a 83 sierra NT its yellow and its got black wheel flares and pretty dark black window tint but white rims. i was wondering if anyones go a sierra sort of the same but with black rims on it im just wonding if its going to be to much black. im in the market for a nice set of muddies for my sierra but im going o be getting it with new rims and im not to sure if i should go white or black if you got a yellow sierra with black rims and you have pics could you please upload some for some ideas. cheers shannon

[orangeshannon]

turns out i got pics of mine with both white and black rims what looks better?

[tonyevans]

The yellow one

[want33s]

The more black you add the brighter the yellow needs to be to offset it and look 'right'.

i have a yellow drover that i painted the rims and flares black and i think it looks good. doesnt have the tint but i think itd make it better

[sjzook]

Black all the way. Paint the bar black too! But that's my opinion.

[orangeshannon]

haha yeh the black did make it look tuffer even though it just have crappy AT's on it but im going muddies and with nice black rims would look pretty cool do you recon i should get the ones with the pin stripes? get it yellow or something? haha

[sjzook]

Yeah u can get sunnies with red and yellow stripes. Nice muddies with aggressive tred look great!

[orangeshannon]

i was thinking something like bf muds something that would last ages. im not going to go big im only going to have the size the same size muds as the wheels on the black rims 215 75 15's only because she does struggle up hills enough with the 205 75 15s and shes not lifted and i dont want to fiddle around with her to much. shes very capable as is shows off to 60 series cruisers allready pulled out 3 of them cause they just kept getting stuck

BLACK! then you can pull out Toymotas and look good while doing it

A guy I know has some sunnies on his GU that are black with a yellow stripe, no idea on brand though sorry.

If it was me I'd just get black with the white stripe, though I can't say I really care what colour my wheels are.

You don't need lift to run bigger than the 215, I run 30s on my 1l with no lift, just trimmed the bumper/bumper mounts and put in a bit longer bump stop(maybe 30mm longer compressed, not sure if it actually needed this, I put them in because my bumpstops were actually missing!). But yeah, if I had of had the choice, I would've gotten a smaller tire like a 235/75r15 or maybe a 205r16.

Thanks

ute with black rims, excuse the blue door.



I don't know if I will keep painting it yellow or choose a different colour.

Black rims are a city thing. Rims should be what ever colour the dirt is in your area

[foolsp33d]

I reckon go neither Black nor White..
Mix it up like 86 and go something different..

cake them in mud....

and get them painted ...


Agree with want 33's thou. The yellow needs to be bright (or at least redone) to make the black work..

I believe CSA, silverline and Advanti all do a black rim with some yellow pin-striping...
something similar to below...





personally.. I like the pinstriped rims.. works for some.. not for others... a little like masturbation.

[orangeshannon]

yeh im going to be getting her fully resprayed one day when i save up. doing the factory yellow they come out in and going to have to get the black rims with the single yellow pin stripe. that yellow stripe is almost the same colour as the body colour to

[orangeshannon]

im jelous of your suzi Jackson i wish mine could flex like that

x2 the only guys out here that run black rims are poser fucktards who think 4wding is doing doughnuts on the beach. The sort who have 4" lift and H/Ts on their 3 year old IFS utes/wagons. Coincidentally, a lot of these guys are from the cities.

Every time I see black rims I think of taxi's without hubcaps. Very pov look I reckon.
