yah, I used to think they looked cheap and cheezy. Kind of like a rice burner or something a Honda owner would do. But now I have seen it on so many high end cars that my perception is changing. But it's still just a trend since it's new. Definitely more of a headturner than silver rims though.
I was going to get my factory rims powedercoated black but decided against it as it was a little too much. Why not go with dark grey (gun metal) color instead. It costs about $500 to podercoat a set of rims and gives the car a completely different look.
It depends on the color of the car as to how well black wheels will look. If you go to any shop that sells a lot of wheels, they have a simulation software that will allow you to see the wheels on the car prior to purchase. You can duplicate car color, window tint and ride height.
I will be installing Black KMC Klutch 18's on my black 96 328i in the coming weeks in a staggered configuration. I will post pictures as soon as as they are on. Wheels should be on within two weeks or so.
