Thumbs up wheel colour change, advice needed please

i am getting my wheels refurbed and have taken one in today to be done on Monday. for the last 3 years i have moaned and groaned about cleaning them as they are white with lots of spokes.

should i get them done in black as i am having all 5 done? i am a bit worried that they might look odd against a yello car, advise and suggestions please

can anyone photoshop some black ones on for me?

IMHO they look better in white, they stand out more. The black ones they look ....dirty.

thats sort of what i thought but couldnt find the words

i know the white makes the car stand out more but is it for the right/wong reasons?

Black is an acquired taste . Joking aside in white they jump out at you and demand to be looked at. They are certainly more striking in white. Black will be less attention grabbing and IMHO will not blend well with yellow. Black wheels work best with darker colours, my tuppence worth Sara.
