I say stay with what you have, A white car with black wheels looks like, Well you know.
Just my opinion, I think what you have will look a lot better than black wheels.

I'm amazed at the popularity of black rims! I've always been a chrome guy myself but I think your wheels look great!

Now add to that some side skirts a front spoiler and rear spoiler in either white to match or carbon fiber to accent your black look and you will have the aggressive look you want.

Scroll down to the pics of the C6 ZO6X for an idea of the black accents on a white car with black rims. Very aggressive looking;

Black wheels look excellent in my opinion on a stark colored vehicle, black, white, red etc.. Not so much on secondary colors, gloss black over matte on white in my opinion, my white frc is getting gloss black zr1 19's and 20's... Just my $.02

Great idea! If you don't like it, you can always peel it off.
