I'm prejudiced as well. I like the contrast of the machined lip.

if they are fully black... its just looks like its dirty to me. I dont like it. the above car looks good but silver or gold or bronze are def better than all black.

Black-on-black was an option, code XD9, and would be period-correct.
This may be sacrilege but, how about white rims?

Mine are like on Abe's post, black with silver rim on a black car. Shortly after buying the car, I started looking for silver rims. Never found anything to my liking at a reasonable price, so, kept the black wheels. Came to like them, but highly recommend the silver rim for a black car.

Here's a better (and more current) picture of mine. XD9 (rims and caps ext color) on the XRR Carrera sport wheels.

Of course, a personal choice, but I love the combo. Changing to black lugs this weekend.

White wheels with Red seats looks incredible. Like BBi’s Streetcup GT3. Totally love it.

That polished lip makes all the difference on a black wheel on a black car. Looks really good. Without it, it all just blends together into one big black mass as I see it at least.
