FWIW.. they arent chrome. Hyper silver painted.

I would normally go with black but i think some reason, they look best the way they are.

A couple people have mentioned that black on black is nice. Did you notice his car ISN'T black. His sig says it's Midnight blue. I don't think black wheels would look good at all on a blue car.

Good call! I retract my black selection. I agree I dont like black on a blue car. I would go smoked or leave as is.
