  Because black is a neutral colour mah. You know such sporty cars are already coloured here and there, and the arts teacher always say don't use more than 3 colours, excluding black and white.

  from the point of view of art, black is unsuitable 'cos there is no contrast between the rim and tyre.
  
  the human analogy .. if you are very tan better not wear black tees.

  Ricers see things not in the view of art. Their taste of colour not necessarily follows human anology either.
