Depends on how much you wanna put into it. I see you have a Duracell bike...black swingarm would match noce too. Basically, I think it's a toss-up. Good luck...

For yoru reference, here's mine with the chrome wheel (caliper wasn't installed yet in this picture) and a plain swingarm. I think the swingarm and ugly axle kind of stand out. I was thinking of doing the axle and adjuster cover to see if it helped.

Next season when I paint the bike I will need to decide between chroming the swingarm or painting it to go with the tins

You already know my answer, but you can always (can't believe I'm saying this!) put a chrome cover on it.
