I would go with the black ones man. Also, I love the neon blue on your fender L logo. Can you send me a pic of how it looks at night?

Is there any CF on your car? If so, the Strasse CF would set it off nicely. But if not, you can't go wrong with the classy look of brushed aluminum or chrome look. Good wheel choice to begin with. I myself have started to look at the R10's.

Are those the same ones as Mariano (SFFD)? If so, i would not get the brushed aluminum ones simply because youd look like his car.

You can't go wrong with either one but if you want to give more emphasis on the wheels then the brushed aluminum would create more contrast and stand out more.
