Not commenting as a purist (heck, it's your car - you can and will do what you want) but from an aesthetic "industrial design" point of view, I believe the silver rims show the overall form and "shape lines" of the car better.

The all black may be more of the current style, but all black sometimes comes across as a less defined "black blob" while breaking up the black with the silver (or other tasteful contrasting color) wheels when one has an all-black car allows the body forms to be better seen and appreciated.

Just IMHO (and many years of product design experience).

BTW, non-black cars don't have this issue to the same extent because the black tires themselves provide some contrast. (Come to think of it, one could use colored tires I suppose....)
