Black wheels almost always get lost in the wheel well. It really depends, but there would have to be a real good reason for me to option black wheels.

It's a popular color, but no I wouldn't say most.

EDIT: For example, here's the same car, but with black wheels that were repainted to silver. It pops so much more with the silver ones

Something like this with a polished silver rim isn't a bad compromise

Neither.

I'm more of a fan of like a smoky gray color for my wheels. My Acura has it and I know Audi S/RS model cars do too.

A gunmetal grey color can look good

I wanted black but had to settle for silver spokes on the TT. Seems like that was the right choice because people ask about them constantly. Very hard to keep clean though.

Yeah bro. Das it mane

It has this clean wet look that I just love. I'm gonna look for this color every time because it's spoiled me.

Black just makes the whole damn thing look like someone stole your hubcaps.

Depends on the color of the car. For silver cars, black is usually a good choice. I went with black wheels with a polished rim on my Cobra. It came with stock chrome alloys that didn't really stand out.

Whatever color someone gets, it's leaps and bounds better than when chrome wheels were in fashion again about a decade or so ago

There was like a 6-7 year period in the mid 00's where manufacturers where using them as the stock option and it was horrible

You're not wrong. And I hate to feed into that culture. I just think they'd look beastly on my Sonic Gray Pearl. I'd go for a somewhat muted white though. Nothing super bright.

My previous car was a white Focus ST. I'm well aware of how much of a pain it is to keep white anything clean that's exposed to the elements.

Something about split 5 spokes just rub me the wrong way. It blows my mind that people would pay thousands of dollars for Blitz 03's, but to each their own.

Yes to the Vette (Z51 C7), no to any Mustang's.

The Stingray was $85,000. Keep in mind this is in CAD. Americans would pay less.

Definitely. Way cheaper on gas too and has two extra seats (very small seats, but they're there). Better trunk too because of the hatchback.

It's my daily, so all in all it was probably the best choice. Tires cost a fortune though, damn.

Depends on color of car. For the most part I'd prefer black/dark rims. Last car was black with dark gray/charcoal rims. Looked great. Current car is blue with silver rims and it's not too bad. Would look better with dark rims in my opinion but I'd also want to swap the chrome badges/emblems for black or carbon fiber to color match the rims better.
