Default Chrome or Black AR Rebels for my car?

I pretty much have my mind set on a set of Rebels for my car but I can't decide on what color. I know it's a personal preference but I like the look of both colors on my car. Just need a little help on what to go with. If someone could photoshop that would be awesome too!
What do you guys think? Stay with the CETA theme on my car and get black wheels or go chrome? Here are some pics as it sit now.

The 99 color is slightly different from the quasar blue he has but both are great colors. I'm sure it looked great with ccws though. Anyway about porsodas car I think he should continue he theme of black accents to match the rest of the car better so I say black. Besides the lip will be a good enough contrast to bring it all together if thats the wheel you are set on. Post pics when they are on for sure though.

Figures it would be an even score so far! This is why I couldn't decide myself.

barracuda_440-sorry but I'm not interested in buying because 17's all around won't work for my car. I need 18's in the rear because they have a better offset.
