To each their own but the black wheel and trim look on a TR C8 look amazing to me.

Black or dark wheels look sportier in my opinion. Silver works best on a very dark car to me.

If body color accents....then silver wheels
If carbon flash accents.....then black wheels

Same as the photos posted above.

Isn't it interesting how the whole personality of the car changes when one goes from silver to black of the exact same wheel. I have never been one who liked black wheels at all, but they are growing on me. That being said, I like a little contrast on black/dark wheels, like a machined face.

Carbon flash all day long! I originally wasn't a big fan of these C8 wheels, ... but they've been growing on me. I kind of like the silver lip around the edge.

That’s EXACTLY my build! (Edit - except I went with translucent roof.)

Default Go Black

The black wheels accent all the black trim well and the red Brembo brakes look better through the black wheels than the silver in my opinion. No bad choice....on red.
