Personally I'd rather go with chrome. But if you want the stealth look, go for the black - they look good too.

Chrome always wins out...
The bright side vs. the dark side.... Sort of like Good vs. Evil..

I'd get the Black rims, but make sure they either have a chrome or polished lip or edge to seperate the edge of the black tire from the rim. It looks cleaner that way imo.
