Black wheels on a Flint Gray E63?

I have been debating to go black on my wheels but can't pull the trigger. The 63 has alot of chrome on the mouldings and dont know if it will look right.

I will most likely go matte black centers with flint gray lip so I will have no shiny metal on my wheels. I probably won't paint my grill black, but maybe paint my emblems and smoke my taillights.


I attached a pic of my car with my old wheels

New wheels will be 20's

let me know what you guys think

Full brushed 20" will look best on flint grey (no black windows like you have). I've seen matte black and I like the clean look of brushed more.

wheels

no thanks on the iforged's. I can get them at cost and most likely cheaper than you will sell your used.

my only worry is if I go black I will get much more attention from cops. That seems to be the case in CA. Plus I have to spend all the extra money painting everything black and eventually brining back to stock

windows are actually color matched flint gray on my old wheels- funny, you are the first person that said they look dark, most think they are too light
