Going to buy an outback of this same color in a couple of days. Anybody think it would look good with black wheels/rims? Sorry if it seems as if i make a lot of car threads. I do.

Thanks

Rims on an Outback is pointless in my opinion. They aren't exactly the nicest looking car. Don't get me wrong, I love them, and own both a '96 and an '03, but they are not deserving of rims.

Waste of money I say.

I guess i shouldn't even say that i'd buy a new pair of rims. Just paint the ones pictured black (obviously not by doing a cheap job) is what i'd probably do.

Eh, it'd still look akward due to the massive gap in the wheel well that comes courtesy of the raised suspension.

For this reason, I'd prefer a silver wheel personally.

that would look horrible on that car since theres no black on the body of the car, plus no girls are gonna be like 'oh shit look at those rims, let me suck this dudes dick' so it would be a waste anyways

to be honest i think you could make that car look ill,
needs a solid paint job and maybe some bright color on the rims.

Looks good on that car. But the Imprezza wagon is a different breed than an Outback.

i wouldnt paint em black, the suburu outback is an awesome car but i feel like if you painted the rims black it would look like you were trying way too hard to make the car something that its not

I would personally save my money.

But if you're into buying rims, get the black. They look less soccer mom-ish imo

i've always wanted those silver and gold outback wheels, it'd be a shame for them to get painted.

peter imo big wheels on trucks always tend to look ghetto, i would go with some fresh not so huge ones with meaty tires and a small lift. i would look into kmc's xd series, like the rockstars http://www.kmcwheels.com/xdseries/wheels.html

i would also suggest doing black.
