I know I'm abit of a wheel snob and make jokes quite often about it but I don't hate the common wheel selections as much as I joke about it, I'm just not crazy about the "murdered out" look.I think the silver Drifts/RTRs etc look great on some cars! Black wheels done well, with the right accents can look really good. It just drives me crazy about some cars with all black wheels photograph. The wheel is solid black, the tire is black and the fenderwell all seem to blend together and it looks like a big void.
Don't be afraid to think out of the box either. Look at Merlin's car as an example. A few years ago you would only see bronze on imports. But with his wheel selection and accents the bronze looks amazing on his car!
What it comes down to you have to do what YOU like and can afford. You're the one who has to dish out the money, has to look at it everyday and clean it.
Good luck in your search!

Popular/common or not I'll be putting SVE Drifts on my car (PW '11).
I'd LOVE some bronze or gold, I had some on my black srt4- but my wife would disown me and refuse sex for a LONG time if I put them on. lol
