Need a picture of white X6 with black wheels

Hey guys,
I'm not sure to powder coat or not my 214 style wheels in semi mate black.
I love the way they look in black, but not sure if they look right on a white X6, so if someone has a picture of a white X6 on black wheels, please post it
Thanks in advance

Sorry I cant help you with pics of my car but I can tell you that you need a high gloss black wheel against your White Car

Mine looks like this but with performance grill



You have got to go high gloss

Thanks for posting those pics, my car has black kidney grills, and carbon fiber look-a-like covered roof, so my car has already a lot of black-white contrast, so maybe the black wheels will not look bad, I really dont like high gloss, hope this picture will give you a better idea.
Check the paint finish and colors of the following pictures, is the type I'm looking for, remember that powder coating has a lot of surface finishes, not all are rough, some are smooth like acrylic paint. One is gun-metal, the second one is black.
Also found a picture of an X6 with black roof in Google, so now I have a better idea of what the car would look like

Your images are saying they have been moved or deleted?

I included the image of the Bentley to show what several manufacturers are doing and as we know they spend a fortune on getting things right. IMHO you need the high gloss as the wheel will completely disappear and also it will look smaller in a Matt or semi Matt finish. I
