Looks better chrome, but maybe the blades black and the lip chrome. Good looking stang by the way.

I personally don't like the all black look. I don't think those wheels would look good black even with the polished lip. The spokes are to integrated into the lip. JMO though.

good choice of color...i have actually been contimplating that as well. wondering if the FR500's would look good in black. personally, i think the black rims would flow well with your GT350 stripe

Looks 1000x better as is. Then again, I think the Bullit looks terrible too.

Painted wheels look like painted wheels. IMO, if you want something cool that accents the dark colors, go with a black chrome bullets or factory black. The black chrome is really unique and looks awesome on cars with allot of grey tones.

i dont think it looks better, i think i like em both the same. tough decision but if it were me I wouldn't paint them only because you probably paid a lot for them haha.

Try this, keep it all black and paint a pinstripe of your car color on the edge of outer lip. I'll be doing this to mine soon but thought I would share. You could try and re photoshop to see.
