I'll be honest.... both look turrble. Don't consider this trolling, it's constructive criticism.
Black = Color of the car is too dark to pull of the black wheels.
Bronze = Looks like you tried to match the wheels to the exterior paint, but it didn't work out.
Both colors immediately make me think of a tuner car. That's not a bad thing, but when you painted your car Berylium, you kick it up a notch. Wheel finish needs to be better than someone with a Civic can replicate with a rattlecan.
My advice? Polished or matte silver wheels with body colored returns on the spokes. Wheels will look fantastic and will be a good compliment to the darker paint.

I didnt try and match the wheels to the car, I went with the only bronze I could find in a can. Same with the black. My theory was for 20 bucks i can see what colors I like and dont like. Then when I get something that looks good then I step it up a notch and refinish the wheels with real paint.
This whole process is just to see what color goes with Beryllium in general. These wheels will be winter only wheels and next summer I will by 19s and refinish them in what ever color goes well with my body color.
If for some reason I stay oem wheels next year I will still have freshly refinished wheels. This is to just see what color looks the best. I have no intention of driving around with rattle can wheels espically after I spent 3 months doing all the bodywork and paintwork on the car.
Dude... I just thought of the perfect wheels for your paintjob... https://g35driver.com/forums/picture...ellegance.html
The color on the wheels I posted is flat black between the spokes, but the face is machined
