Hmmmm! I think I see black kidneys already though? I think it'll look good either way.
Not exactly the same, but I have a black sapphire car and have a set of 220's from the M3 that has the same finish (gunmetal interior with the machined/clear coat face). I already have shadowline trim but originally I was thinking the wheels would match the chrome kidneys. But.....I bought a set of the IS kidneys anyway and now I think the wheels will be the only contrast on the car now.

Need a garage or a driveway to be able to do that
I'm already violating my apartment's garage rules by handwashing my car with ONR. The nearest power plug is about 150 feet away as well.
