I don’t get this blacked out look that seems to be a fad right now.When cars of the past lost a wheel cover we replaced it cause the black rim was plain.When you get your new blacked out rims you will notice that dirt and grime more than on an average grey alloy rim in between car washes.Reminds me when I wanted to buy cool rims for cars ,this wasn’t even a thought.I could have just painted them black,the cheap way out.
Recently my wife and I went to our local Buick dealer where we each were going to order a new Buick only to find out that you can no longer get built in Navigation Systems. As seniors we prefer the built in navigation systems as opposed to using our cell phones. Needless to say we will not be purchasing new Buicks. Results – Loss of sales.
Charles – be sure to post whatever car you find with built in Nav… I suspect there aren’t any left
Black wheels look cheap.. looked that way in 75 when I did it, and still looks cheap,, and now the trend in paint is no metallic/pearls,,, and thinner clear coats.. but we still pay for quality
So it’s really just 2 wheel styles 18in or 19in, and then either black or silver for each.
Should I put 17in winter tires or 18 inch tires on my 2024 buick encore GX Sports Touring model? I was told to go down two sizes for winter tires. Is this true for my Buick? Or should I stick with an 18inch
