got fella i know to photo shop the wheels black on mine to see what would look like. bit too black and could do with more glossy finish. that looks very matt. Dont think style of alloy i have suited to black anyway.
Photoshop is the way to go though to give you an idea of what its like.. The Paddy in Poland!

Is that rear tyre slightly under inflated  I only ask as the car appears to be leaning towards that corner and the tyre looks a bit flat Club AT2

Been thinking abour black rims too, but looking at the pic I think I won't. You need more contrast with the body clour of the car.
Maybe gunpowder metal is an option?

I also think black wheels look yack - and its for the same reason that light coloured discos are better than dark ones - its all about loss of definition - black rims just merge into the tyre - just as the rear quarter window merges into the side panel - not good
