It’s true – black cars tires on a car definitely make that car stand out! But there are different shades of “black” available – such as flat, glossy and hyper. So, which one should you choose? Well, here’s a short summary of the three different shades, a few ideas of what type of car looks good with them, and some very general information on prices.

Glossy Black – This is a color that is lustrous and very shiny. This shade of black goes well on any car with a decent paint job, and is perfect for the person who wants to make his car a little bit more “showy”. But if you are someone who wants to “blend in with the crowd”, then this probably is not for you.

You could put glossy black rims on a newer hybrid car, and this would make it appear a bit sportier than what was normally intended. In fact, these rims with bright red or yellow paint job, would definitely give your car that sleek new “toy car” look. Another type of automobile that would look great with these color rims is any two-door sedan model, especially if it’s painted silver.

Not an inexpensive rim, by any means. New, they start off at around five hundred dollars a set, and just keeping going up in price from there – depending upon the make and size you need of course.

Flat Black – “Flat” black is a shade that is rather “emotionless” as far as flash is concerned. It’s a dull and understated uniform black, with no hints of anything else in its make up. Rims of this shade go well on an automobile that is “no nonsense” in a “government vehicle” sort of way.

This shade of rim is often seen on those compact and sub-compact family cars that have by-passed the family, and have gone straight to the race track! Paired with an equally flat black or other dark color paint job, they give a car that serious “out to win” look that is desired by the driver. This rim type is not quite as costly as the glossy, but is still up there in price. You can replicate that “race day” look on your own compact or sub-compact vehicle with new rims – starting at around four hundred dollars per set for the stock kind, and upwards from there, depending on size and brand.

Hyper Black – These are rims that are actually a chrome color in which a distant cousin of the black shade is made to gleam through. The end result is a look that’s subtle and understated – yet expensive-looking, as well. Cars that look really nice with these rims on are those such as the mini “gangster-type” type car. New, they start out around two hundred dollar per set, and go up from there.

And, in your search for black rims, don’t forget about the auction houses! A lot of times, you can find sets of four rims – with tires – at prices starting at around six hundred dollars. However, if this is still too pricey for you, there’s always a way to find them even cheaper by checking out the many “gently” used sets that are for sale.
