Brushed . I love the appearance of its texture as it looks hand made and it contrasts the black car beautifully .

But heck --I even like it on a white car too as it throws off this understated clean look.

It just boils down to personal taste.

Black has a more aggressive look. The brushed is also nice but a bit more traditional. It's a win win situation you can't ago wrong with HRE.

Brushed - it needs some contrast.

For the black to really work, you could black out the tail lights, the exhaust tips, and the brake calipers. Make the whole beast black!

What's the name of the finish on the BMW? That looks good.

Not a fan of black on black.

Brushed will never go out of style.

I prefer the Brushed finish for some contrast. If you would like dark color wheels, my vote is for satin charcoal.
