Default Exhaust tips styling question

Do you normally match your exhaust tips to your rims? Black rims, black exhaust tips, Chrome rims, chrome exhaust tips? Would you go with carbon fiber exhaust tips if there was no other carbon fiber on your car? I currently have black exhaust tips but am trying to decide if I'll stay with black tips when I upgrade my exhaust. I'm leaning towards CF tips with black underneath.

One issue to consider with CF tips is that they can potentially lead to discoloration.

I really do not take the exhaust tips into consideration when dealing with the wheels. I like my exhaust tips to stand out, so I leave them polished/chrome.
