Default Black wheels, blackwall tires, black car.

I am considering painting my wheels black. I am tired of the vermillion red wheels on a 29 tudor. That would leave me with a black car, black wheels and blackwall tires. Anyone have any pictures of a completely black tudor or any model a for that matter. I have found a few searching the web but most have a color variation be it body, whitewalls or wheels. What is everyone's opinion.

I like it. My paint doesn't look as good as yours but I think will be fine.

Check out me and my restored 1929 Standard Coupe with Black wheels, Black tires and Black body on my website...As Johnny Cash said..."It came from the factory that way"! (From "One peice at a time") even before I restored it.

Here's mine with and without whitewalls, and, some years ago, with its wheels red. I really like the black better. Whitewalls are a whole other controversy

BLACK on BLACK and BLACK sounds like a great plan! DON'T even think of anything other than blackwall tires.

I'll not even approach the whitewall controversy. I'm a blackwall fan. Ya'll are making it real easy for me to paint my wheels black.

I am not up on pinstripeing, but you may have some subtle color options there to break up the black if you wish. I'm in with the rest. All black looks nice.

My Avatar shows my 30 std. roadster with black wheels and tires. I think they look better that way.

My avatar shows a black on black on black Business Coupe. Maybe you can use your imagination.

Here is my coupe ib all black, painted about 40 years ago or more, please excuse the snow, it is the only good picture I have of it right now.
Don't forget the black bumpers, mirror and headlight buckets, I wonder some days what it would look like completely blacked out...
