I vote no black

they'd look better powder coated or painted silver.

Black is ok with either a polished lip or an all black car to complete the *evil* look.

Have you considered matching them to the color of your car? I think silver on silver will look better than all black wheels on your car.

The gold's not bad either.

Thanks for fixing the Pix first off!!

wow! thanks for all the feedback..

No silver b/c it would look to plain imo.

I'm looking for mean, I love the gold wheels!!! but I'm getting a set of Massive brakes so i figured the Black would bring them out more..

It's a hard decision

Gold doesn't look quite right on a white car IMO. How about just color-matching the wheels and body, i.e. white?

some people are huge bronze fans... I'm not a hater or a lover (and not a fighter either ) but I think maybe a gunmetal color would work better than a straightup black?

You could play with the tinting of the gunmetal coloring and find something that's a good mix.
