Is there any car that cannot be improved by a set of black rims? Apparently not if my drive into carsales HQ this morning is anything to go by…

The route from Chez PH to the office does traverse a few leafy suburbs, so the automotive eye-candy is often impressive. Though black rims have been popular in street rodding culture for a while now (and graced our Skoda rally car y-e-a-r-s ago 😉 ) , it seems that the genre has finally hit the top end of town. This morning petrolhedonist counted no fewer than sevn black-rimmed beauties on Williams Road alone… And that’s not including the showroom full of BMWs and MINIs with gloss and matt hoopos neros at Bibs…
