Worse yet, back wheels make the wheel look MUCH smaller because it's difficult to see where the wheel ends and the black wheel brings out the brown in tires. It just looks cheap and really takes away from the look of the car.
Darker liquid silvers, medium anthracites, and machined spoke faces with a mild dark paint clear coat and gloss black paint accenting on the interior edges of the spoke and rims (think most late model M wheels) look the best, IMO.

Big brakes are what I like to see on cars. Giant alloy wheels with drum brakes or dinky little discs are the worst looking thing ever.
When the wheel, whether silver or black, lets the brake be seen, and it's a good sized stopper, it looks good IMO. If your black wheels look like steel cop-car wheels, it's probably because you got dinky little brakes that can't be seen.
