FWIW, I have considered putting black wheels with polished spokes and lip on mine. I'm not against black wheels. I just like more definition than having a black wheel, tire and wheel well.
You may start a trend by doing so. Who knows? You laugh now. But that's probably what some did 10-15 yrs ago when someone suggested putting black wheels on a Vette. There had to be a first black wheel on the Corvette . And it started the trend

If you like them, that's what matters though, but since you asked for opinions......
@JVette You are right. Hmm, what if I paint the letters white?!

Today I joined the Black Wheel Club! 
Not a chrome bash thread, just my personal opinion.
I had polished wheels and wanted different wheels. Chrome looked out of place IMHO. Narrowed my choices down to machine or gloss black reproduction Cup wheels or gloss black reproduction GS wheels.
I contacted http://shop.jwmotoring.com - a forum vendor for pricing, shipping and return policies. I ordered a set of gloss black GS wheels + black lugs on Saturday and they arrived today.
Installers and random people getting their vehicles serviced gave the wheels Got more when I stopped for fuel. I see a pattern!
I'm happy with the look. Next up is changing the brake calipers to red?
Took some "After" pics:
Before:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
After:
*Overcast day and iPhone camera

The center caps where plain but I ordered decals from ***y, (5) for $5 bucks + $2 shipping/handling. I forgot which forum member gave me that tip but thanks!
