Default Black chrome rims on a starfire pearl?

What do you guys think about this combo on a LS? I ve seen it done on a couple cars and looked real good, but haven't seen any black chrome on a LS yet..

I think a matte black or gunmetal finish would look great, on the other hand I'm not really diggin the chrome look

I personally think chrome has gotten a bad reputation due to the late 90s and the MTV movement of "bling" and big wheels. Personally I've never had a problem with any particular wheel finish (I actually really like black chrome) so long as it was executed with some taste.

after seeing the pic of them i must say im swayed... seeing as my oem wheels are the same color... an i love mine.. i just couldnt find an aftermarket color match (usually too dark) good choice on pearl white...

Sorry no pictures, I saw a 2019 LC 500 in White with the stock "20 wheels Black Chromed and it looked Fantastic.
Was never a fan of the smaller stock "20's in standard aluminum alloy appearance but these really set off the White.
