Not a fan of all black wheels... they make the wheel disappear. Given that the wheel is the only piece on the car that you can see moving it has a dramatic effect on the overall look/feel of a car.
I do love 3-piece wheels with black centers and a nice polished lip though.

My car will be crystal red with Visible carbon fiber roof, carbon flash on the hood, and black interior so I feel I have enough black on the car and I went with the Z51 chrome.

I'd rather see various shades of tinted clear powder coats on naked aluminum like what HRE offers.
Tough and classy look.

But there are some who feel their choice is the only right one, and have to insult everyone elses. I am a young 56, and getting the Black Wheels with Laguna Blue, so clearly the young/old farts theory is not an exact science.
Everyone should get what they like, and leave it at that, why some find the need to be insulting is beyond me? Oh...I know why....... Immaturity....
