+1 I say get some OEM 19s. Not sure about the trim, don't think I would do it black, even if you had black wheels. Maybe color matched.

Tinting your windows would look great too.

Tint, 19" rays, PC black, black everything (maybe colormatch window trim...) , smoke the clear corners, and have the taillights paint smoked very lightly (nothing too dark)


... oh and add a lip spoiler.

Black wheels will get lost on your car. Beryllium is too saturated of a color for black wheels to have any contrast on.

If you really want to make it work, a matte black would look pretty good on the wheels.

Aside from that, I'd go with a slightly darker silver on your next wheels, but not as dark as gunmetal or anthracite. Ideally, a brushed metal surface with a tinted clearcoat to darken the metal be a good balance for the wheels.

I would keep the silver/beryllium theme going. I'm not a fan of black accents though.

You already have a great looking car. If I had it I would put on some OEM Rays, tint the windows and call it good.

I love black wheels, but your color I would say no. On the other hand I would have never bought black wheels for my car if I went by the "view on your car" options like tirerack has. You need to see it in person before deciding.
