I say leave it with the chrome. Makes it pop more. The murder look can look good, but I've never been a fan of all black rims on a car without a chrome lip or something to give it some color. Gunmetal is a good alternative choice that was mentioned earlier. Nice dark color but still some differentiation from the body.

Black wheels look nice, but don't touch the window trim, and the lights.

People still try to 'murder' out their cars nowadays? I thought that look was for beat up cars?

The plus side of black wheels is you never have to worry about cleaning the brake dust, but to me that's all they look like - dirty wheels. To each his own I guess.

Blacked-out look does not look good on the IS.
