i say DONT DO BLACK ON BLACK....that shit's played out now...unless you are going to do a really unique set-up like one of the recent members who went with black on black with the gold lug nuts...very unique wheel/tire set up you know?
i say keep them the silver color they are now or go with a gun metal powdercoat but def not black.
thumbs down on the caliper covers, just paint them whatever color you want....red....yellow maybe?

ay be look into stud conversion and match the lugs with whatever color your brakes look like to have some contrast, especially if you go with back wheels. A member here did the conversion with his black wheels, looks nice.
Post pics when you're done.

:thumbsdown: to the Brembo covers as well. Just paint em red, in my opinion. Red time attack would look pretty awesome as well.

There needs to be some amount of contrast on any dark color and thats the reason the OEM wheels are what they are, you can have them all black but it would just make the car look weird in my option. Ever thought of wearing a black suit with a black shit, with a black cap with a black tie with a black watch with a complete black belt, like everything black-- If it looks good to you, thats great but a person with a non black tie and a non black shit will be noticed more than you in all black and would be more presentable since the non black shirt and the non black tie would add a level of contrast.
To each his own -- I would not do all black wheels EVER, it kills the contrast all the way.

They didnt stick out at all before I got 15mm Spacers on the rear. Now they are flush with the rear fender.
