IMO:
- black wheels with contrasting or polished lips is dated, circa 90's. Black wheels only look good solid black.
- plasti-dipping wheels is not a substitute for properly painted or powdercoated wheels. It's easy to spot wheels that are plasti-dipped, just looks cheap. When detractors of black wheels refer to them as looking like caked on brake dust, that's the same effect of plasti-dip. Just doesn't belong on a high-end car, let alone a Porsche…Civic maybe!
- the "murdered out" look- all black, is so circa 2000, IMO overplayed and looks poseurish, especially if the car is not lowered & stanced.

^ may I also add that polished or contrasting lips on one piece wheels is for poor people and posers? If you can't afford, or don't have, a two or three piece wheel, just make the wheel one color.
