Default Oem or Black?

Looking for some advise, did quick render of how my Z06 rims would look gloss black with some red calipers.. Thoughts?

IMO black wheels bring out nice brake setups, I like the look.

Was never a fan of Chevy wheels on a Pontiac and Vica Versa, always thought it looked weird. Whatever you prefer more though.

OEM. Black would be too much black IMHO. Need some contrast. If car was white, Then i'd say black.

If insisting on black, a red perimeter stripe would help bring a little interest back. Glad to see not everyone's opinion is blackout. Once minivan commercials start advertising something like the blackout edition, it may be time to go another route. Chrome still appeals to many in the right application. 2 color wheels are another option. Another trend gaining popularity is bright colors, such as a candy red against your black paintjob.
