In my opinion, I think the chrome wheels look better on a black car. That's just my taste though. Also, I think it would help to see pictures of the different options you're considering rather than just "chrome or black rims."

i plasti dipped my oem wheels black right before i got aftermarket wheels. this is what it looked like

To me those don’t look chrome, they look silver (maybe the photo)? Whichever, the way they look in the photo is good. Don’t paint or wrap them.

”Contrast” is a visual concept and it’s a good thing, it helps accent details and draw the eye in ways that enhance the overall form. Making everything monotone is SOOO 1990’s NYC the fad should have died away by now. Leave them the way they are; they look good as a package with the car and wheel design.
