I'd recommend no darker than charcoal - black's a bit too harsh.
But that's just my 2c. YMMV.

Hehe GOT LIP?

Nice wheels I would be paranoid of any pothole or bump after fitting them. (Make sure you get em insured).

(Insure them as part of the car). Going by their size each wheel + tyre combined would be worth a fair bit my guess at least $700-$800.00? So make sure they are specifically noted on your policy and covered for their full value otherwise you will only be covered for the value of stock wheels + tyres.

interesting choice there mate, as Clarence suggested go charcoal - gun metal. Also what width are those wheels out of curiosity? Any idea how much they weight? You will def be unique rolling with those.

Here's the wheel picture:

I'm with Tangla on this one. Matte black is good for the track, but for the street a glossy gunmetal or charcoal would be better.

As some of the guys have already said, charcoal or a similar tint is the way to go.
