So I made the decision tonight, the wheels will not be painted!!
I've deliberated long and hard, and as good as I think they would look black, I want to keep it looking classy. I feel like black would give it too much of the "tuner" look which I'm trying to avoid right now. The wheels just look so pristine that I can't bear to put sandpaper to them. The combo of the black tails and the calipers painted black should give me the effect I'm looking for without drawing too much attention.
I may save the repainting for one or two seasons down the road when the wheels have rock chips and dings on them ^_^
