If you have the "car" (as in supporting mods, suspension, etc...) to pull off all black go for it. For that to look good it's going to need to be an aggressive fitment with BIG lips, otherwise it's not going to look very good.
Because your going with an all black rim you need something to make it look right, for instance, if you got those wheels with a small lip and inset offset it's going to make your Gs look like garbage. If you get those same wheels, with a 4" lip in the back, flush and tucking with the fenderwells then it will look really aggressive and good. See what I'm getting at?
It's like putting a JP 3 piece spoiler on a otherwise stock car, it just doesn't look right. You put the same spoiler on a car that is lowered, wheels etc....It turns into one of the best looking wings for the Gs, see what I mean? You need to have the rest of the car to support an aggressive visual mod like all black wheels.

Too much black for my taste- all black wheels always look small
due to the lack of contrast between the wheel lip & tire.
You might be able to pull it off with a colored pinstripe at the lip.
Just seems like a lot of money to spend on wheels that, from 100
feet away, could be mistaken for mail truck steel take-offs.

I appreciate the comments from everyone, I'm really starting to evaluate if I should even spend the cask to update my look. The downside is that I keep rolling with my L-Tuned while I wait for the Work VS-KF's I ordered from Darrell at D2 (he really is a nice guy), the upside is I save a little cash for the time being.
those are perfect and I like the all blk! looks good IMO.
