I like the black ones. It flows better with the top up and the black plastic on the car.

i like the first set, the black is cool, but the hyper silver finish is classic, and will never fade out of style, just my .02 cents

Silver. The black wheels "disappear". You buy custom wheels for people to see and admire. You shouldn't have to stand next to the car to figure out what the wheels look like.

I say that's true with an all black wheel but in this case it is not. Black one gets my vote, matches with everything, black canvas top, dark color car. Now if it was silver then the first choice.

And that the problem. The wheels "match everything". There is no definition and the black wheels do not add any visual attraction to the rest of the car.

Well

I'm a bit biased, but I like the black wheel with the silver lip. I have them on my car (Porsche wheels) and it reminds me of the 80s 911s.

Silver, but read the post about how to unmount/mount center lock wheels - it is not for the faint of heart. Seems like near insanity to me - they look cool, but that's a high price for vanity.
