7. I was in the middle of working on the conductor plate/transmission of my SL55 AMG when I had your video playing in the background. I had to crawl from under my car and washed up to comment before I lost my motivation. I love your content so please take this as constructive criticism. First of all, I regularly use this hash tag #ihateallblackwheels for fun. I'm a professional automotive photographer/videographer and was hoping the trend of all black wheels went out with mullets and skinny jeans on men. I'm very disappointed with your choice of using all black wheels on you GT3. I felt your conflict at the end of you video when you discussed making a decision on the color choice. The vendor I think said he would have preferred you got "raw" color for the wheels. (Silver?) I can tell he also wished you chose any other color but all black but, the customer is always right.

   Here is my argument for my distaste for all black wheels. There is no visual separation of the wheels and tires. This makes them difficult to see in pictures and video. This was expressed by GT3 boss Andreas Preuninger in a video from Carfection were he stated he was not a fan of all black matte wheels either. He said he prefers having a red stripe on the lip like on a Ducati to have visual separation of the tire and all black wheel. He also stated this visual separation accentuates the wideness of the tire/wheel combo. I don't see how having all black wheels can make your tires/wheels look narrower but, that's his professional opinion. Here is a link to a video I made – an excerpt of the full video of his interview. (https://youtu.be/W4G1EEVOxUU) You can have the most beautifully designed wheels but they virtually disappear because of their all black color. Wheels are a very important design element in any car design. This why you will find it virtually impossible to see a concept car with all black wheels. To me, all black wheels make any car look like it's rolling on all tires. Worst, they car looks like it's running on all black space saver spare steel wheels! Yuck. Lastly, IMO all black wheels look worse on light colored cars like white or silver because the cars look even more like they don't have wheels mounted at all.

   Somehow I think at the back of you mind you agreed with my opinion because you did add a splash of red to your all black wheels to give them some definition. I would have gone with just polished silver or even the white gold BBS/Porsche uses on the GT3's. Black is just so played out and I would be lying if I said all black wheels complimented you car. The only exception were all black wheels are "excusable" in my mind's eye is on a black car going for that "murdered out" look – which by they way is also played out. Thanks for reading about my pet peeve with wheel color. Love your content, Keep up the great work. Cheers.
