Default Black rims

I've had a set of wheels referb'd at the time the matey said what colour do you want them, silver, matt black or gloss black no extra charge for colours. So i thought about it and went with gloss black as the 8 is dark thought it would look good. However i've been told by 2 separate people it looks like a drug dealers car can this be right? Does having gloss black rims make you a drug dealer?

Opinions please

I really like the black rims, also having seen Conan's rims which look superb, I was thrown into doubt over my new chrome rims. Its too late now though, I dont have money for yet another set.

You can't be a drug dealer, you need pimp tints to go with darker wheels before you qualify

think my faves are these love the contrast between the anthracite and the silver spokes, just need to be convinced they would look good on my car, and SWMBO to let me spend the money
