Default Which wheels, what color???

I am shopping for wheels and Iam down to the following:

18" 50 Spoke Fat Daddy (front and rear) or
18" 80 Spoke Radial Laced Wheels (front and rear)

Also, I am thinking about either going with black powdercoated rims and spokes or a combination of either chrome rims and black spokes or black rims and chrome spokes.

I think the black would go well with the other black accents on my bike.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Oh yea, the frontend will be chromed first.
