    Probably just for looks.

    I dont think they look terrible. If the car was white I think they would look really good but black wheels in general do no bother me. I dont see the difference in painting a wheel black or buying an identical one that is factory painted black. They both seem like black wheels to me haha.

    the black HRE wheels are not painted black. I think the actual metal they use is black. so it still gives you that nice shine that you can't get with black painted wheels

    I wasnt talking about a particular wheel, just in general. I personally would never change a stock wheel unless it was maybe to run a drag setup. Im not an aftermarket wheel fan. Most of them look cheap to me.

    Then again I am a Mustang guy so the factory wheel option from Ford is pretty vast hahaha.
