I think the flat may be easier to clean but may look like a spare-tire from far away. Either way, I'm not a big fan of black rims...have you considered a gunmetal, hyper black, or black chrome?

No problem. Here's a pic of black chrome, I'm a big fan myself. At some angles it looks like the "black pearl" emblems sold at Courtesy Nissan (http://www.courtesyparts.com). At other angles, it just looks like a dark chrome wheel. Kinda different.


And, please post pics of what you decide on? I'm curious as to how the OEMs would look in another colorway.

Haha your picture gives the illusion you've got tires of 500mm width.

I dunno, personally I've never liked black rims.. from far away it looks like you have steelie spares on or something.. (And really, I'm not trying to insult anyone with black rims... that's just what I think of when I see them)
