Default Chrome or Black Rims? I cant choose!

I have a Burgandy( i dont know what honda called the color) 05' Accord. I am going back between chrome and black rims. Currently i am going between Axis and Tenzo R wheels. I like both chrome and black wheels, but i cant decide. I havent found a wheel that i have told myself in my head "i need to get those!". I really am having a hard time seeing my car on these wheels. I know it is my car and it shouldnt matter what anyone else thinks, but i am having a hard time deciding.

Send me pics or tell me someting!

Something to think about. Our cars will stay clean only for a few days if it's daily driven, even if it's stored in the garage at night.

Chome will not look good unless it's clean and spotless. Will you be cleaning your wheel and car every 3-5 days?

I appreciate the input. Well I am mod'n up my car still, Body Kit, carbon hood, oem spioler, halo projector lights, intake, exhaust. With that said, it seems like if i am going for the "racing look" but its a sedan so its not a sport looking car. I am trying to combine a class look (chrome) with a sport look ( mods ), but would this look funny?

Does anyone have pics or can refer some brands?

GET NEITHER!! go with gunmetal, chrome is too flashy and heavy, and black is overrated and overused, it's too common. GUNMETAL is the ****, clean and in the middle of chrome and black rims. nub

me personally I think on a Burgandy Sedan Chrome or Gunmetal would look good. Not to sure how good Black would look but then again Im not big on moding up a car. I think Gunmetal may be the way to go.

I've never really liked black except for black slip streams on 5th gen Accords and some Civics. Otherwise I don't really like black. I say chrome all the way. The only thing I own with black wheels is my R1 and they are factory.

I'm going to be honest though I think the wheels on our 06 Accord V6 6Speed sedan which are the stock wheels are one of the best looking wheels out there.

The only other option I like is the Konig Unkowns they are polished with black accents. I love those wheels. I had a similar wheel design from Limited Alloy on the 5th gen but they got broken when I hit a bad pot hole.
