Was never into colored wheels... Silver or gunmetal are the only two colors that look good for rims IMO.

I would leave them. Black hides the detail of your wheels.

Leave as is. Your car looks great. The photo shop looks awful.

And if you go black anyway, then go all black. Black tint the tail lights, black pearl the emblems, black pearl chrome trim grille and headlight bezel, black pearl exhausts, black powdercoat the muffler.

Lot of work to do it right. Otherwise stay as is which is great.
