I personally hate the bland alloy color, though...

I have no problem with and like black rims, especially on white or light grey exterior paint. When exterior and wheel are dark, it just takes away from the beautiful vehicle lines. That is why I would not go darker than gunmetal with black exterior.

Black wheels in general or just against black paint?

Black wheels in general, but put that on a black car and it's even less appealing. Just me though.

Find the car you want and get the wheels refinished or purchase a new set of wheels if you don't like them. Every time I've purchased a car the wheels are probably my last concern cause I usually end up replacing them with a set of Forged wheels. Powder coating them won't run that much either...depending on your area.

Do people really like black + black that much? For example, dealer A in my town has 4 black + black while having just 1 black + m-sport + non-black wheel.
I found a Carbon Black MSport (Mocha) that I am picking up today. Has 20" non-black 469M wheels, hurray!!!!!

By the way, once I pulled out of the deal in Long Beach (Carbon Black Msport (Terra) with black 469Ms) because they would not swap the wheels, they are offering me a choice of any wheels I want.

Just came back from Toronto and there were so many dull black on black German cars. BMWs, Mercs, Audis... actually I didn't see many Audis.

Also a lot horrible black steelies with winter rubber on there.
