Default Are Black/W Polished Lips Played Out Yet?

I'm seeing way too many people with basically the same wheels. Is it me or is this style really getting over used? If not how much longer will it last?

Yes, I'm just wonering what will be the next "HOT" look. I like the black w/polished lip look though but by the time I can get another set of wheels the whole "look" should be about gone.

i think black wheels are overused, but if done right then it look good.

Even though they are getting popular right now I think that something that looks great today will keep looking great even if other fads come along. The exception to that would be if way to many people get something it won't look unique or original anymore, (thats why i didn't buy the konig unknowns that it seems like everyone is buying)

Here is a picture of my Drifz 505 17's in gunmetal with a chrome lip.

Well lets see, it's either all chrome, black, gunmetal, bronze, white, black with chrome lip or gunmetal with chrome lip. It's not like you have to many choices out there. I just bought me a set of the black w/ chrome lip. It all depends on what you like. It's just like everyone calling something "rice". If you like it, and you want to spend YOUR money on it then go right ahead. Now if someone else wants to buy it for me, then I will learn to like it and they can tell me it looks good or like shat, until then I just tell them 'DILLIGAF".

My last wheels were a dark anthracite with polished lip... pretty cool and all but I wanted something more unique. One thing I can say in defense of them is that having the centers and inside barrels dark hides brake dust so you clean them way less. With what I'm running now you can see everything inside there.

I dunno. I agree with hahajoey, I got what I like and what would look best for the theme of my car.

I could have gotten a custom color for my DH's..but I love black, its real clean. After I get tired of black, I'm headed for candy apple red.

I personally never thought they were "in" but others told me otherwise. I never liked them at all.

if you get the same old wheels that everybody has, then yeah it could be considered "played out"

if you have something unusual (my wheels) or highly desireable, like say black center work eurolines or even work netzart spoke2's or something like that then to me, timeless styles like those will never be "played out"

I hope that they are "Played Out", so people will stop buying them & I can be the only one lookin' good.
