I vote chrome. I don't like black wheels on white cars.

BTW those wheels are hot!

depends on what kind of look your going for.......if you go black you have to go limo tint, cf hood, cf trunk, and so on

go chrome - black makes too big a contrast, chrome looks more clean

im stuck between the 2.. trying to keep it real clean less is more look but with nice mods..

chrome: like the classy luxury look of the wheels and the shine is sick with the lip.. flows well with the white car...

black: kind of a tuner look i like but also goes well with my color car and my dark tint.. paint a couple aero parts black on the rear bumper set it off nicely.. anyone have any pics of nice clean ip's with black/chrome rims to contrast with thanks

Go with the black. But get glossy black rims, I dont really like the look of the flat black. It might look better if it is actually on the car but I am not feeling it.

I want to go the same route as you. I want an IP with black rims and I am going to black out the tail lights, get overlays for the front and get all the logos on the car in black chrome.

There are some pictures on this site with what you are looking for you just have to look for them.

Chrome all the way. Those wheels are made to be chrome. Black would not do them justice. I have black chrome Gt7s on my car and love them. Classy yet till sporty. Either way though, those are some sweet looking rims

Which ever way you go it will look a ton better than those stock 18's. You can't go wrong with black though.

Personally, I am not a big fan of chromed wheels. However, those wheels in chrome would look fantastic on your IP coupe.
