Those wheels don't look to bad!!  But prob wouldn't suit a silver car, might be better on something a little darker! :)

No from me aswell I am afraid.

Would like to see a set of gold wheels on a black car, I think that would look cool.

I've seen a few cars around with black wheels, the wheel arches look sort of 'empty'..... :-/

I do but then my Cars black.
The Fox wheels would be ok on a silver car (as someone has pointed out they are faintly reminiscant of the Cardboard Prefacelift MV6 wheel).

Your car - your look!

Have fun choosing whatever you do............. :y

Saw a silver audi with black wheels yesterday, and tbh it made the car look dirty and they didn't suit it at all!!

Here's my new toy, they came like it, and personally like them, but that's just me! They aren't quite fully black...more dark grey!

Actually not being a huge fan of black wheels, they look quite nice and like the colour of your car too! Mines black and thinking of chroming my face lift alloys from silver!

So i think its gonna be a no then aswell from me.What about anthracite,which for those who dont know what that is,its a kind of dark grey,but then again i do like the idea of just doing the inside rim black,which someone mentioned. :-/

black wheels look great on silver/white cars. not sure about anthracite on black or silver tho, not quite 'black' enough.

these are the wheels on my latest acquisition. ignoring the style of wheel *(although theyre for sale if youre interested)* the colour works well against the silver bodywork.

Sorry but it's a no from me , but you have to live you life the way you like it so it's up to you. Im thinking of doing mine gold to match the cars colour but i was going to spray the spare to see how it looks most spares are black so maybe you should  put that on and see the effect  :y

Washing a car, is like making love to a beautiful woman.  caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.
