It's just too much black. Not a lot to break it up.
I'd say leave 'em alone.

The car looks sweet- The way it sits it is a very appealing car to everyone.
the blacked out look is a more specific taste due to the attitude shift it gives the car
I like the black centers, but as you see, that puts me in the minority.
On the other hand a majority vote is what determines the resident in the White House and we see how that is working!
Life is short if painting the centers makes you happy the DO IT!!

Your car has always looked good. I gotta admit, I am digging the black centers.

I'd like the black centers if the rivets and center cap were left polished/aluminum.

If possible I'd buy a set of black wheels, I don't think I'd paint those nice wheels.

Another vote for not blacking them out. Why buy beautiful wheels and then hide them with black paint, it looks great as is. Glad you went with the majority vote. Check my avatar.
