Definitely Black!!!
Also, you shouldn't have to pay $100/wheel for powder coat. I have a great guy in Columbus who charges me $45 a wheel but still only charges $65 to the general public.

IMHO you have a nice balance of chrome and black and blacking out the wheels would be too much. I would either chrome them or change them out to a custom wheel with a combination chrome and black look.

I think you need a contrast cut wheel or chrome & black wheel. It should repeat the designs you are already using on the bike. This Renegade wheel is chrome & black, repeats your 5 spoke air cleaner and the bolt heads tie into your exhaust.
