Default Black wheel example
I know this ain't your bike, but here's what a black solid rear looks like:

Man this is a hard decision, both ways look good. I'm trying to do a chrome and black dance all over the bike a little black here a little chrome there.

Tough one. I like the back and chrome mix and it's tough to keep a nice balance. Good luck with yours!

To me, a black wheel with chrome calipers, pulley, rotor and "whatnots" would look cool.

Tough one to decide black or chrome but I would keep both rims the same either way you go with it.

I say match the wheels. If your looking to do the chrome and black dance, I would go with black and machined Magnum 5 wheel.

Edit: Post some pics when you get it done. I am doing pipes and air cleaner this weekend on my orange WG.

I think your on the right track. So here is a little different perspective.

Mix the chrome and black on the wheels too.
On the rear - Chrome rim w/ blacked out center.
On the front - Relief Cut chrome and black center w/ chrome rims.

Just a thought.

I agree with this....both rims black.
I think the solid black wheel in the rear would look awesome, but the chrome wheel up front would look out of place with the rest of your bike...JMO.
