the black donz columbo's were the nicest in my opinion, but you can definitely see from the trend that you have a preference for black wheels (maybe because of the sinster look it gives?). I say go with some polished or chrome in that same columbo styling...that would look classy

i think black on black looks hot. i agree, you're bored with the look because you see it everyday. maybe trade someone for polish or chrome?

Be a real JDM pimp and go with these. If my ride was black this would be my choice...

I always liked brushed or diamond cut on a black car...

If that's too subtle, I'd go with a matte bronze or gold.

I think charcoal or graphite on black looks mis-matched... always looks like you're on loaner wheels. Not enough contrast.

I am not a fan of black on black. You can't distinguish the Pepboy off the shelf black wheels from the name brand ones. I would do something unique. You can paint it a blackish gold like this Mugen Honda's wheel.

Default Wheels?????

Well Bustn, it's your choice as alway's,but if you ask me I 'm gonna say go back with the Black Columbos! I know every car in Central Florida that's black, have black wheels, but those wheels complimented your car nicely! If your considering a change I would say a gunmetal or charcoal grey finish would look nice! Honestly, I want you to get a set of wheels and keep them so you could come out and play with us a little more(cruises,shows,etc.)! Lol! Keep me posted on whatever you decide!
