On Black cars: Bronze to gold looks good, silver and black chrome looks good, chrome looks good as well. Those accentuate the wheels on any color car.

Black rims make your wheels disappear and are not noticed as much. On a black car they look dumb unless you are going for the stealth look and even then the look is to not get you noticed so again if you are going for looks don't go with black wheels.

After winning tons of car shows and judging tons of car shows if you want looks and points go for the colors listed at the top.

100% agree with this, I like the stealth look but it doesn't give the car that wow factor. If you go all black it just blends in to much. Lots of members here have or have had the black on black look and the car looks great like Glokwork his car looks awesome but imo the car looks great the wheels kind of disappear then you take Liquid G picture I posted couple posts above and the wheels just pop. Either car look awesome and anyone would be proud of owning a ride like that but for my taste I like non black rims.

That's my scheme, but I really wasn't copying Porsche. I just had some orange vinyl and orange powdercoat that were a perfect match, so I got the other stuff paint matched to it.

On my new Porsche Cayenne I'm going black on black though.
