Not a huge fan of black wheels on these cars in general, but if you must go black, the silver rim keeps it from looking so hinky, provides a bit of wheel/tire interface definition, and looks more like something done in a production facility than in a back yard. Solid black looks more appropriate on Lambos and the Celicas trying to emulate them.
Obviously, not everyone here would agree, and I'm sure some of my mods would be questioned by others, but hey, you asked for opinions...

I would agree. For me, you lose the look of the wheel when it is black, it just blends in with the tire. At least with the polished lip, there is a little definition. Personally, I think the Sport Classic II's look best in the OEM Silver. They are a beautiful wheel, of course I am biased

Really?
I actually had to look it up just to make sure the meaning didn't change.
