HELP with black rims!

[lennoxavesosa]

i was considering getting some DUB moabs or sequence SQ2's in 22" but am starting to change my mind. i got a black 300c and the black rims with a silver lip are starting to grow on me. i did a seach and pulled up several pics of 300's with black rims on them, but in terms of actually finding a rim that will fit the car proper im lost. im not looking to spend more than 3K on them with tires (arent black rims generally cheaper than chrome ones?).....if anyone could provide me with some more pictures and places where i might be able to buy some (even willing to buy used) and any other imput it would be greatly appreciated. i know im not alone out there on this one and alot of you probably have some 22's in black so speak up guys! thanks

TSW Thruxton - 20"...on toyo tires..... ran me just about $3k all in...they call it hyper black....i painted the brake calipers gloss black on top of it....

i like those ziniks.....but cant find a price on them? anyhow steve i know what youre saying. im in NY and i have a TON of potholes here, im reluctant to put 22's on for fear of damage, but i dont think 20's are gonna cut it (still look too small for me). do you think i really run a large danger of popping tires/damaging rims if i choose to get 22's and drive around on crappy roads?

Buy roadhazzard insurance. I have replaced 3 of the 4 tires I originally purchased because of side bubbles caused by potholes, etc... Discount Tire is where I purchased the wheels/tires and insurance.

aspendog, can i get this through my insurance provider (progressive or nationwide) or do i have to get this through whomever i decide to purchase rims from. just to clarify, so i can bang up the rims/tires all i want and simply get a new pair if i have this insurance?

This is something when you buy tires, they ask you if you want to include road hazard.

If you're spending $200+/tire, it's worth it. Les Schwab USUALLY includes this, but their tires are way spendy compared to other tire outlets like Discount.

Anything less than say...$1,000, do NOT report to your insurance (how much is your deductible anyways?). Your rates will go up and/or you'll be dropped eventually.
