Chrome wheels are garish on sports cars.
I guess it's really a matter of preference. But hey, striking calipers do their magic too.

That's a Satin Black BD-F12 with a red brake caliper

I have all black wheels, but when I bought it, it had the hideous chrome-looking lug nuts. (I'm sorry for those of you that posted with that.) To me that's awful. Within a week I purchased all black lug nuts from ACS. Looks way better matching and gives a nice accent for the red calipers to stand out. If you're going black...go black all the way. It'd be like putting black nuts on a chrome wheel. haha

That's probably the best thing you did!

its funny seeing all the “open minded” replies to anyone that likes chrome wheels and doesn’t like black wheels…have to be “old” if you don’t agree..brilliant!

Count me in the think they look putrid camp…black and chrome are both good in moderation in MY opinion..the only chrome on mine are the wheels and it’s SHARP

Same on a harley-i don’t want EVERYTHING to be chrome nor black, my vette-chrome wheels look awesome and provides contrast,.black wheels look just like the tires…black and more black and yes, as thread started, DOES look like an old car with missing hubcaps-cant even tell what the wheels look like until you’re close up

NO THANKS for me, but as many have stated, to each their own not some idiotic if you don’t agree with me you have no taste, old, whatever
