Default Black wheels for a silverstone?

I'm in the market to buy my first set of wheels and i was wondering if black wheels look good on silverstone? I have many black accents, so that is what im guessig should be best. I've read up on painting my stockers and putting spacers on them to sit flush, but i dont want them to chip. What is your thoughts? If anyone has pictures of any that would help to. Thanks!

I agree. I have a black and silverstone theme for my car with some CF accents as well. Very nice.

personally not a fan of black on silverstone. flat black is ok, gloss black looks horrid. love some sort of gunmetal wheel best on SS.

^ Sorry, not a fan of powdercoated stock wheels. I have not seen one pair of them that did not have horrible chipping.

I thought black aftermarket wheels were powdercoated.

Some are, but some are painted as well. Some people say painting is too weak others complain about the differences in weight of the two methods. To each their own.

I love black with silver. I think it looks so stealthy. I have mine sitting on stock 17s while i look for new wheels but you get the idea.
