Brushd and clear... I think black would be pretty hidden on a black car... Depends on the wheel and style of it?

It's all personal preference...

Generally, I like wheels to contrast the body color. I'd go with silver/hypersilver...or maybe gunmetal.

I happen to like the looks of these on the Cayman:

Victor Equipment:


Techart:


Rinspeed:


YMMV

+1 on the brush look...I'm sure most would say go black, but like sharkster said "black would be pretty hidden on a black car". and you couldn't see it that well in a photograph..IMO.

You'll get lots of different opinions, but I still like black wheels (with red stripe) on black cars.

The Forgestar F14 is not only stunning but it's also a strong and lightweight flow form wheel and definitely has my vote!
