Here's a few images I threw together in Photoshop. Not the best quality, but you get the general look. I like it!   | ||

Hahaha No, Jere, that wasn't me. You're thinking of Herbert, whom I replaced. I worked for FoD back in 2001 during my freshman year of college. Just a fun job for a lucky kid. I plan on getting an exotic in a couple of years as a gift to myself for a very high potential project I'm working on. I have every means to get it up and running soon, and if it works, then my company will be the biggest thing since the PC. I can't give you guys the details, of course, but it involves neurotechnology and cognitive/dream science. Remember that movie 'Strange Days'? | ||

Evan, When are you getting this Lambo? If you used to work at FoD detailing cars, where do you work now and what do you do? I remember having seen a big hispanic man detailing cars when they were at their old location. Was that you???? Just a question. | ||

Thanks for all the responses, each one counts. Just a side note, I used to detail for Ferrari so keeping it beautiful won't be a big problem. | ||

Evan: We currently have a Black on Black 2003 Murcielago with Red stitching. We are going to put a set of black HRE rims just to see how it looks. I'll make sure I get some pictures to post. If it were mine, I would go ahead and get the windows lightly tinted as well. | ||

Like everyone else mentioned, black is ridiculous to keep clean, but that combination sounds sweet... i would definitely go for it... Black wheels don't usually appeal to me, but on an all black car, they would fit right in and enhance the look... My vote goes for sexy... | ||

I saw a Z3 done very similarly just yesterday... minus the bits of red. It was striking, but not necessarily attractive. I saw a 911 like that about a year ago. Again, it turned my head but didn't get a thumbs up. And similar a few other times over the years. In all cases, the wheels seemed to be a dull black, surrounded by the tires even duller. Made them look ugly in comparison to the shiny black of the car. I think, to make it work, the wheels need to either be identical to the car or larger contrast with the car. With the typical black wheels, they land in between... and just seem not to match. I'd love to see a black car with wheels painted in the same black. Not sure it would work, but I'd like to see. | ||

i would pass on the black wheels. my other suggestion would the dark gunmetal grey they offer, w/ black seats. saw one of those the other day and it looked great. | ||

I think it would look great (I just saw a Murcielago last weekend, it looks amazing in the flesh)...but I personally dont like black wheels, they just dont look good in my opinion... BUT its your car, do what you think looks good  Im sure itll be amazing either way | ||

Should be a great looking car. Plan on a bunch of time cleaning, etc. Black is that way. Art | ||

Black is a nightmare to keep clean. If you can manage it, it would look nice. | ||

I think black wheels with a chrome lip would look excellent. | ||

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the black on black on black. The rims seem to get lost in all of that black. Don't get me wrong, black is beautiful, (just look at my wife) but I wouldn't go with black rims. Everything else...yes. | ||
