To Black or Not Black?

Hey Gents- having a rim guy come out tomorrow to delete the chrome around the tire. Should I have him black out the middle star as well? Option 1 or 2? lol.

I personally like option 1. But bear in mind I have a black car with silver rims and I love the look of the silver on the black, so I'd say I'm slightly biased.

Option 1 or there will be no contrast at all.

You should keep the chrome around the edge of the rim as full blacked out wheels are too common now.

Tell the rim guy don't worry about it and cancel.
