Depending on the style of your rims. And if it's going to be slammed.

Default Not a fan of black wheels

They remind me of the ugly steel wheels that are behind hubcaps

IMHO, the only cars that can pull off black with chrome/polished lip very well are black cars.

It probably won't look bad, but it won't look much better.

Ron... why do you even bother asking us? You have proven that you do what you like, which is best.

Get some black 'fun hair spary' and some blue tape to make a lip and spray the xpac rims, then if you dont like it you can always wash it off.

i think black wheels look good on black, gray, silver and white cars..if you decide to go with black, it will definitely look clean, but i think you should try gunmetal

gunmetal all the way
