Default Black wheels on black body color?

Was looking into the 19" LC818s but they now only come in silver and black and the black may too shiny for my taste. I've been searching for pictures taken at a 90 degree angle of how this would look but haven't had much luck. Anyone have this set up, pictures or opinions?

What about a graphite or matte on the Obsidian? Any idea who owns the grey IS 350 AWD shown on the Vossen website riding on black matte CV3s?

Thanks.

Black on Black is a little too dark imo but people do like them.
Black on Black with chrome lips = Nice!

Yah, there are some MMR GT1's (not black) for sale near me at a pretty reasonable price. I'm thinking about getting them and powdercoating the spokes but leaving the lip its original color.

Don't know if I want chrome or the color that comes stock on the AWD but I think what the F-Sport comes with looks great.

Any idea who the owner of this is?

Looks like Matte Graphite; one of the best looking set ups I think I've seen except its not on the Obsidian.

i dont like black on black for one reason you wont be able to see the detail in the rims. you should look into black and machined finish

You wont see much of the detail with black on black. Your wheel won't stand out.

Black on black has gotten a little played out for my taste but it does look nice when it's clean. This is coming from a guy that has aback on black car ( non Lexus)
