Default Black 10 spokes on black ss?

I am really not a fan of silver wheels and really think the black wheels would look nice. I have a black billet grill on its way and it's getting tinted next week. I will have to take a new picture tomorrow. I night shaded the front marker light and the side bumper lights. I plan to whislter the head lights. I'm not big into flashy, I even paint my calibers black ( might be the only thing changed to red) let me know what you guys think. I will have to show where my plate now is on the front!!

I think black would be sweet but I'm biased

All personal preference. I have never understood the whole black rim craze myself. They become hard to see and remind me of a car that lost its hub cap. If I spent good money on a set of rims, I wouldn't want to hide them with black paint... again that's just my opinion. I have seen some examples where a guy has pulled it off and looked amazing but never on a car with black paint.

I am in the same boat as you. I have silver ZR1's and can't decide what to do...I may paint them all black, or black with the polished lip, or dark gunmetal or i don't know...i like ZR1s though and wouldn't mind keeping them. I'll post some pics I have collected along the way to see if they help you. These aren't of my car but you get the idea.

See all black just does it for me. Those pictures you put up just makes me want to it now!! My only though was I wish my rear tires where 10.5 and you think 18 inch wheels would look better? Here I a picture with the grill just not tint yet, the car needs something different then silver wheels.

i have also toyed with the idea of painting my wheels in Duplicolor's Graphite. My wife hates all black wheels, and sometimes you do what makes the misses happy.

Black wheels look great in person. I would consider a satin black finish if I were you

That is a good idea satin, so there is a little contrast from the car.

^^ if you like the "always dirty" look.

I've seen very few all black combos that look good enough to say, "gotta have it". If you HAVE to go with black, keep it high gloss with a polished/bright lip. Personally, I'd seriously consider a darker grey with a bright lip.
