Great tip! Does anyone have a favorite brand of sealant for rims?
I’ve used Adam’s Polishes wheel sealant before; it works wonders! Just remember to apply it every few months for the best results.

Any advice on cleaning black rims without scratching them? I read that some brushes can be too harsh.
Use microfiber brushes or mitts! They are gentle and won’t harm the finish.
In addition to that, make sure to rinse well after washing. Leftover soap can attract dirt, making future cleaning harder.
That’s a great point! I’ve noticed streaks when I don’t rinse enough. It’s frustrating!
What about tire dressing? Does it affect black rims? I’ve read mixed things.
Tire dressing shouldn’t touch your rims. Just be careful to apply it only to the tires. And check the labels — some can stain.
On a funny note, I once accidentally sprayed tire shine on my rims. They looked like disco balls instead of black! 
Haha, that’s hilarious! Mistakes like that can teach us the best lessons!
Remember to always clean your rims when they are cool to the touch. Heat can damage the finish or even warp the rims over time.
That’s such a key point! I’ve ruined more than one cleaning session due to that!
I think grey cars with black rims look sleek and modern! You can enhance the aesthetic by adding some bright decals or even trim accents in colors like red or yellow to contrast nicely.
Absolutely! And don’t forget about interior styling! Bright seat covers can add a nice pop against the grey.
I’m also a fan of grey and black combinations! For accessories, consider getting black rubber floor mats; they blend well and are easy to clean.

Black mats are a good choice! I’d also suggest a light-colored steering wheel cover for contrast.
What about adding some metallic accent wraps? A light metallic colour could give your grey car an extra sheen while complementing the rims.

I’m curious how a matte grey vinyl wrap would look with black rims. Anyone tried that? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Never thought about a matte finish! That could look really sharp. If you do that, maybe keep your accessories matte too to maintain a cohesive style.
For a more lively look, you might consider bright carpets or even ambient lighting in the car. It’s a bit out there, but could be fun!
