Would look good, because gray and black together look tuff & austere, like it was some kind of field truck or military truck or something....

But in most other situations, black rims scream teenager to me....

Def depends on the vehicle. I'm looking at a set of flat black for my pickup eventually. Trying to eliminate all chrome. Chrome is shiney, and scares away the animals I am trying to get to come closer.

I work in a sketchy area. It screams ghetto to me on any normal car. But not on a 200k car...

My buddy has a new black Charger R/T police edition that came with the black police wheels. The thing came blacked out including 0 tint limo windows. Suuuper illegal. When he decided to do bigger rims he was going to do black. "murdered out" style. I talked him out of it and he went with gunmetal SRT8 rims. Looks real good.

I like that you threw that out there.
People with powerful cars always brag about their 1/4 mile ET's but I've always thought that was hardly the ultimate measurement of a fast car.

Still...as much as I HATE the bodystyle, the Camaro in the garage of the guy you bought the busa from was super tight!
