I am going to be tinting the windows black, wrapping the grille gloss black and even the chrome. so what do you think guys!
For example these wheels,

Keep them as is. All black makes them get lost with the tires IMO. If you do get them done, powder coating is the way to go.

The Matt black honestly will look really nice with the red calipers. It will make the calipers stand out even more especially if you blacking out the car. Just my .02

Decided to leave them as they are. Even the grille I won't make it black gloss. I will just add p31 carbon fiber diffuser and modecarbons front lip. Seems good?

Congrats on your car! Did you get it locally? Qatar has some nice used 63s collection! What model did you get?
As for the wheel, all black would look less attractive, the silver lining will go well with your white car even if you black out the grill/badges/chrome parts.

Count me among those who have never understood an all-black wheel. You can spend all the $$$$$ in the world on wheels and still not be able to see them. They're just lumps sitting in the wheel well. And yes, that look is played out. That said, there's no question but that on Olszowa12's car that's as good as the wheel can look, which is fantastic. They'll never pop like that on a white car. JMHO.

I have the same feeling. Too many blacked-out civics and old bmw around
I had both setups and all black look worse than black + polished lip.

Photos of the Week: Polished Lip or All-Black Wheels?
Have you ever been in the situation where a woman sitting across the table from you at a restaurant begins to brush her toe against your thigh, and you have to keep yourself from getting the stupidest look on your face because you are surrounded by about 100 members of the general public? Well, that’s […]

I agree, darker cars like black or grey look better with the polished lip. Lighter color cars like white or silver look better with all black. It's all about the contrast.
