Black on black, what do you think?

What does everyone think a nhbp civic with flat black rims will look like?
Will it be a nice look?
Im trying to get rims and want black, but dunno if I should get polished black or flat black. WHich one do you guys think I should get, flat or polished so it shines like the body of the car?

I already got the rims but just want everyones opinion, I think I made another mistake with the color of rims..

polished black will look better than flat black, but flat black is really nice also....basically any black on black looks amazing i think

I just got konig heliums in 15"s that are flat black. They look pretty sweet, but I think that I would have gotten them in regular black if they made them. either way it will look good, but I do think the regular looks a little better.

i'd say polished black. unless you're planning on painting your car primer black or flat black...

otherwise, i would think that most people would think that you just took your hubcaps off...

I have them in flat blacks, but Im getting sick of the look already, at least they only weigh about 10.8 lbs

flat black is nice, if your going for that SPOON race look, I think its better on cars that arent black.
On a black car..its gotta be a polished shiny black..thats the way to go..bling bling !

I am probably going to get some 17s in the near future, and they will not be flat black. Get the regular! I was looking at my car, while it is a step up from stock alloys, they look kinda like steelies with out hub caps.

dont get flat black, i used to have the flat black rota subzeros and got tired of the look within weeks. go for a gloss black or polish black...its basically a flat black with a clear coat.

cant go wrong with black with polish lip as well
