it would be nice to know what your car is like first, then we can suggest something to go with it,
but i always think white TE37's will make any car look nice

Most anything will go with black, but if I had a choice I would choose white! Love white on black. And if you're into it, gold looks good on black too, esp. if you're going VIP!

My choice for a black vehicle is bronze. I know some might say bronze has been played out, but to my eyes black cars look at their best with it. I've never been a big fan of white wheels on black, my friend purchased his EK9 CTR so many years ago and they only came with white wheels and it just never looked right to me. The ITR came with a gunmetal type color instead of white.

Go onto Tire Rack and you can match wheels up to the car, they might not have any wheels you want, but at least you can see some different colors on black.

Black cars will go well with white, gold or bronze.

If you're brave you can try louder colors: orange, green, yellow...

Well seeing what you are looking at, how about these (SP10) compared to the MR116? They are in Hyper Black.

No weight listed for the MR116, but the SP10 is listed as 16.5lbs for the hyperblack and 17lbs for the black. Probably best to just average those for now, because I don't believe one paint finish would be less weight than the other. Both sets are 17x7 +40, so if you want to lower, you are probably going to want to at least roll the fenders.
