I know you aren't the only one who has this opinion about black wheels. I will say that it seems that many people derive this opinion based on pictures. Black wheels require someone who understands lighting in order for the details to show up in pictures. The light needs to be shining towards them or it needs to indirect (dusk or dawn). See pics below. I have no problem seeing the details on the black wheels. In person, you can see all of the detail - unless of course there is an absence of light. Don't take this as me being offended by your opinion. I just want to point out that not all photos are created equally - especially when it comes to black. Clearly a light colored wheel is easier to photo and will show more of its detail in more situations. For the record I am currently on silver wheels

I dug up some pics of the same car on Silver Wheels (and gold, bronze, black). I hope this helps. I have a few more pics on my computer if you are interested in seeing additional pics of any of the options. After all of the options below, black was always the winner IMO.
