I'd paint the wheels black too unless you're into chrome. 
but yea, the gloss black roof is just too good-looking for a white car!!
I've got my space gray metallic car's roof wrapped in matte carbon fiber and loving it!!

Nice, I can't paint my wheels black because of the chrome. If I did, eventually it would start to peel and flake. If the were painted aluminum then it would work ok. I think I will be changing the wheels in the future anyway.

My Ride: 2007 Silver Grey 530 XI
Ok, today I took the big jump for the black roof. A short while back I asked what everyone thought about the black roof in cabon, black matte or gloss. The response was by far gloss black. So I did it today... I took a few pics of my progress. I'm not done, as I still need to paint the rails. Will do this next week along with color sanding and buffing the roof and a lite polish on the car. I decided to leave the antenna white. I figured I can always go back and spray it if needed. I removed the rails from the car and took progressive pics. Should the antenne be black or white?

Have you considered doing the mirrors as well? Another member recently did it and to me they came out great. Though it might be overkill now that I think about it.
Also, maybe you should consider painting the outer border of your kidney grills gloss black as well.
Keep us posted. Great work so far!!
