Okay, I got my rims mounted yesterday. Before getting them mounted, I struggled with the notion that I had made the wrong choice, as the links below can attest too.
When I first saw them as they opened the boxes I really liked them. I've now had them for a lil less than 24 hours, but I can't help but feel that they could use to be a little less "chromey". My plans are to do the "silver-blackout" shortly, so that will change how they look in comparison to the rest of the rig.
I work in the automotive industry, and a couple of our cars come standard black chrome rims, but have a bit more of matte finish/clear coat on them. So, I could easily get one of our venders to do that for me. But I could still use some other peoples input to help me make my decision. I have asked a few of my trusted friends already what they think, but they don't think the same way people on this forum do.
Ergo, moreover, I am posting pics on here (sorry, it's raining and I am at work now, so not the best photos) to get some additional feedback. So please, be gentle.

Hey it is your rig, why worry what everyone else thinks. Plenty of people hate my black wheels but I could care less. I personally think your wheels look dynamite. Would like to see some better pics and maybe a close up of just one when you have time. I think you made a fine choice!

I have to say, I am really diggin' the "Knight Chrome". Bet they'd look kickass on a TI! Right?? I think someone should photochop those into a Ti and let me drool a little more. Great looking rims!
EDIT: I tried it myself in paint and I really need some of these!!!
