Default Black Gt wheel choices? Or ideas?

Ok, I'm looking to get some new wheels for my 2011 Black Gt. Need some ideas as far as looks go. I want 20"s. I'm not a big fan of the solid black rims, as I just think it's to much black with the rubber.

If you have some pics or links you can post, that would be great! Also what brand they are.
Thanks

I think Chrome always looks good with Black. What about Chrome Foose Legend?

I love them but I'm thinking they are just to bling! I have been looking at the same foose but with black in the center. Just not sure which way to go. Rims sure have changed since I bought them last. Now most everything else looks like a basket to me. The look I really like is Helo Max 6 It has a different look than most. Like it in black with machined lip. But don't think they make them to fit.

This is just a suggestion as I was once in the same situation. I'm rocking a set of 20s on mine.

I agree with you when you say the all Black look blends in with the rubber, so I found some wheels that would help accent the car (IE: Decals/Emblems/Logos/Interior Trim) with a very SLIGHT Chrome Trim.

(Sorry for the spam of pictures)

I know what you mean, since you didn't like black I figured I'd suggest something with no black.

If it was me I'd put black bullits with machined lip or the black foose ones. If you like the the black foose ones CDC is selling 20X10 for ONLY $100 a piece Thats a crazy good price as AM has them for $375.

Probably more than you want to spend but these are 19" and now come in 20". They are well made:
