Black Alloy Wheels for my Black Palio

Does the alloys come in any other color than the silver/chrome color. I have seen black polish alloys. Are they available in India (Cochin/Trivandrum) Is there any advantage/disadvantage for them. Is there a cost difference?

I want to get them black ones for my black Palio. Can any one help.

Yes, Black Alloy wheels are available in most wheels sizes and PCDs. Try brands like lenso, Hi-Join (HR).

There is also a finish called "Hyper Black" if you want something darker than silver along with the shine but not black. Most brands make alloys in this finish.

Hi, the black alloys should not cost more than the other finishes like hyper silver and hyper black. Only chrome costs a bit more. The specs are also the same, absolutely no difference.

Fellow members in Delhi, can you please help me out in source all black wheels such as the ones I have attached in my post. I've looked at several places including Lenso, everyone has ones with the chrome/ silver lip. I'm looking for the all black ones. Please help.

Black alloys look great - if you do NOT find a pattern of your choice. Buy silver & get it painted. I got that done on my Lancer. Worked well.


Cheers
