I was also debating what to do when I got my rims.

I decided against the black, and I went with hyper silver.

Very happy with my choice...You just don't see any of the detail with black rims

real shame that the stock need repainting

getting them back to the original chromeshadow state is nigh on impossible

Nukleuz, Your bbs are awsom. Are thay real and where they expensive.
I Know the silver looks great on the car. But I want it to look a bit different. It has gone in already and getting it back on friday.
I am paying R250 a wheel and they do the job properly.

So if I dont like it ill iether buy a set of aftermarket wheels or just spray them back to a light silver like the bbs's
