I'm a polished/silver rim wheel type, myself (though the gunmetal 40th rims are pretty awesome, too

).

just an example so you can see what im talking about- i think the stripe really helps make the black wheels "pop".

I'm with djpath: this looks good. I wasn't a fan of the 350Z styling (went with the G35 for two years instead). But what you did here makes me eat my words. Nice work!
