Default Chrome or black rims?

I'm looking into buying some rims for my 07 Graphite Pearl Sedan. I'm leaning towards black rims but I want to get everyones opinion on which would look better with the graphite pearl paint. What do you guys think?

The tire rack's website has a visualizer tool where you can pick the rims and the color of your car and it shows you what your car would look like with those rims.
