Jonathan,
Yeah, that's my truck with the silver alloys and interior trimmings from your red 280 shell (the blue tape on your B pillars was put their by me).
The black on the alloys in the second pic are photo shopped. They're still silver.
I had steel wheels and went back and forth between white, silver, and black until I finally caved and sold the wheels to my buddy Jeff (jjgeier) after deciding that I wanted alloys after all. Jeff has them on his brown LWB now and they look great (especially since he has spacers to accommodate the flares). He is going to have them repainted stock silver.
I like the white wheels on a new swiss worker. I think white would look weird on any other color G.
Silver pretty much goes with everything. Black looks cool, but the truck has to have the right look to pull it off (the darker the better). I love the atik wheels but I'm not sure they work on the 460 nor do I have the money to throw at them if so.
Anywho, this little exercise is just to gather food for thought. I'm more or less happy with silver. Just haven't seen too many black alloys in this style. I'm kind of thinking the silver is best. Got to admit, I'm so tempted to bust out the black spray paint though. Since my truck has so much black trim I'm thinking I could get away with it. Still border line though.

p.s. Your are peering into the mind of a father of a 4 and 2 year old. Photoshopping wheels black is as close to reality as it may ever be. That is the feeling for the moment anyway.
