I'm a big fan of black/dark rims. I typically prefer them on dark coloured cars but with your car being black topped, black handles etc....I think it works well.

I agree usually like them best on a dark car, or red, but I may have them refinished like this If I do, im not sure if I should do gloss, satin, or krackle.

I like a matte finish or a low luste satin. But that's your call....

Matte might be a bugger to clean - I'd go low lustre or gloss.

I have a low lustre satin and it's pretty simple...just wipe. Black wheels tend to hide brake dust...especially the dull shades.

Black gives it a meaner look, I still prefer the Speedlines with a white center on a white car.
But they are not the most cost effective solution. I think you have a lot of options having a white car.

I say black centers and polished lips. Can't go wrong with that combo. Would look hot on your car. Aggressive, yet still classy. All black is too racer for a street car, IMO.

Thank you everyone for the responses and kind words, I do like the black center with polished lip, but they look smaller that way. Speedlines are my #1 wheel, but I may have trouble affording it.
