I come from a school of thought that the wheels on a car should always be a silver or chrome finish.
Making the wheels black or painted the same color of the car or black tires just tends to lose them in the whole paint scheme.
You put nice wheels on the car to stand out and not get lost in your car tires or look plain shitty to begin with. Flat finishes should be avoided at all costs.
Other thing to avoid is the "STREET DORK" look, where you bolt every cheap thing on or spray on finishes.
The original Nissan designers probably played a lot with different color combinations , even on the wheels and in the end they probably kept coming back Silver or Chrome wheels looking best.
Silver or chrome wheels also help to break up the color scheme on a single color paint job, its like painting your car 2 different colors or a 2 tone paint job, compared to a single solid color.
