i think if you post a pic of the wheels in question people will have a better idea of how it would look what way. Just a suggestion

I would normally say matte black, if it matchces the car. however in this case i would say leave them silver, or a brushed if possible.

If you were to black out the whole wheel, lip and all, then that would be my first choice. Maybe matte black face with gloss black lip!!

Polished all the way, it goes with any colored car. Painted wheels especially black is so "yawn", "played out"...

If you could get it machined or polished, that would look great on black cherry!
