Leave them alone . I have an orange Murci too , and was considering doing the exact same thing . But just went with the chrome oem's and am so happy i did . I have seen black wheels on an orange Murci b4 and it looks very halloweenish . They get lost as well . The ones on your car now look great , if anything chrome maybe . But dont do the black , takes away from the car in my opinion . Thats my 2 cents .

I was thinking more like a powder coat. I agree with what a lot people say in regards to black disappearing in the wheel wells.

That happens a lot in photos and was one of my biggest concerns however in person I think they show plenty of depth. I would agree that it would look like a Halloween ornament if there wasn't already a lot of black on the car and to me adding black wheels (or black chrome) adds some balance. Wheels are easy enough to change if you don't like them. Black is popular right now so if you decide you want something different, getting rid of the black wheels should be easy enough.

I think black is already fine with your Orange Murci. Unless you can substitute other color than black for tires

I kind of regret not doing black chrome...depending on the chromer..they can do black chrome really well....looks like chrome in bright sunlight..and black wheels in darker lights.

Call my chrome guy Eli: Home

He's local in Alhambra....so it works out well. He's a Porsche guy though ;-)

Eli was trying to convince my wife to do an orange chrome on her orange ride

In fact Eli's dropping a set of newly chromed wheels @ my place tomorrow which I have to ferry down to my UK friend at Long Beach (he's with Drayson-Barwell racing the new AM GT2):

Thanks for the input guys. Let me give it some thought and talk to several of my friends. Hopefully I could arrive into a more logical decision.
