Black rims?
Ok. I'm starting to feel the black rim look is getting old. I'm just curious to see how my fellow Lifers feel.
And don't think I'm hating on you black rimmed folks. It's just not for me, so chillax.

I think black is cool, however, there is an anomaly that involves a contradiction between the wave theory of light and measurements of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by thermal radiators, or so-called black bodies. Physicists struggled with this problem, which later became known as the ultraviolet catastrophe, unsuccessfully for many years. In 1900, Max Planck developed a new theory of black body radiation that explained the observed spectrum correctly. Planck's theory was based on the idea that black bodies emit light (and other electromagnetic radiation) only as discrete bundles or packets of energy. These packets were called quanta, and the particle of light was given the name photon, to correspond with other particles being described around this time, such as the electron and proton. A photon has an energy, E, proportional to its frequency, f, by
E = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \,\!
where h is Planck's constant, λ is the wavelength and c is the speed of light. Likewise, the momentum p of a photon is also proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength:
p = { E \over c } = { hf \over c } = { h \over \lambda }.
E = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \,\!
where h is Planck's constant, λ is the wavelength and c is the speed of light. Likewise, the momentum p of a photon is also proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength:
p = { E \over c } = { hf \over c } = { h \over \lambda }.

ok, ok, I'll behave now... GOSH
I think it depends on the car, the owner, the style, a lot of things. After rolling on my steelies this winter, I've decided I like the way they look on the box. I'm planning to get a set of sportmax 501s in black this spring.

I agree cherryBox, it just seems that a whole bunch of people have 'em. I don't hate black rims, just wanna see something else. Heck, I've got bronze rims and maybe doing the same kind of post in the future about that color.
