What do you guys think? Not sure if carbon fiber would have looked better, got these for $40 shipped off ebay though.
Should I go with new roundles too?

congrats but the pics look pretty dark, they are very difficult to see. Perhaps you can take a pic inside the garage or during the day.
black roundels would look nice.

Unless you are going to do everything carbon fiber (like I have), don't do carbon fiber. Once you start with one piece of CF, you'll find yourself either swapping everyting esle out that you've alreayd replaced with black or it will just look odd.
Stick with black against AW. Looks great b/t/w.
