Blacked Out Wheels?

Any thoughts on blacked out rims? Guess it's all personal tastes. I quite liked the Bentley Supersport on Top Gear the other day; white with blacked out rims.
Here's a black on black:

IMHO, the blacked out wheels are just a passing fancy. They don't really look all that good although you don't have to worry about brake dust. I prefer a clean, simple design that enhances the car and doesn't draw attention away from the car to the wheels. Generally, I prefer a five spoke design in billet or brushed aluminum.

It is a passing fad, but so was chrome during the good economic times of "BLING"
Now we are into the anti BLING times of a poor economy,this is nothing new it happened during the 70's,80's and 90's. I guess to some I am considered an "old dude" but I was part of those mentioned decades and followed the trends right up to today at considerable cost in wheels just to stay current.
The skirts get short and then long,the heels go high and then low all trends, but one good thing is if you like the current trend or not just wait awhile and your favorite will come back in style.

The cars way too classy for that.....deal with the brake dust, clean your wheels regularly!
On a side note....The XKR 5.0 Supercharged V8 with speed pack /black pack I was out in a few months ago had the blacked out rims ona red car....That looked amazing and mean....Personally I still preferred the blue convertible with the cream leather ineterior and the silver grey alloy wheels with SUPERCHARGED stamped into them....ALL DAY LONG for me
