Black or Silver face wheels

There has been talks in the industry that black wheels will be big for 2006. What do you think? should I go Black? or leave it silver?

Stay w/ silver! It's not only more traditional, it is much better looking.

The black wheels don't look good on that silver Benz...now on a black one, the wheels may look better.

silver all the way...

Custom Paint Rims are a phase. My opinion.

IMO black makes it more aggressive looking. I'd go silver though, because the s-class isn't some high po sports car to begin with.

Go silver! The only benefit that I see if you go Black is that you will not have to clean your wheels as much.
