Chrome. If you do black pipes and black upper forks, then black wheels too.

I recently had the same decision when I purchased a 21" front wheel. I currently have black rims on my ride but wanted more contrast against the black paint and decided on chrome.
Current look:

Are you presently planning any other mods? What style wheels are you going with?

I usually only like black rims with whitewalls. Just think there needs to be some contrast

With the pictures you supplied, I think your bike looks better with black wheels

The black 80 spoke I own however it had a pull when installed, not sure if it's the tire or wheel. I was thinking of gettin a 60 spoke chrome, and yeah the pipes have some wear. I was going to put 2 into 2 big radius but I kinda like the traditional style of the strait shots

Black Wheels, send the heat shields out to get powder coated black as well. Should be cheap. Just my .02
