The only black rims I really like are the Privat Profiles with the chrome lip. They are gorgeous.

My rims are as shiny as my car. Of course they get brake dust like all other rims, but it shows less. Just keep them clean and they look mean.

If you do a quick search I think that you will realize that it isint really different anymore. A lot of cars on here run black wheels and with the exception of just a few I think chrome wheels would look much nicer. Black wheels look dirty to me on a lot of the darker colors, but I think black wheels can be pulled off on a few of the lighter colors.
