Some of the aesthetic punch of black wheels depends also on contrast with the color of the car.

I agree… I have learned a lot going down this wheel-rabbit-hole. I have two white cars with dark wheels, I typically like light color cars with dark wheels and darker color cars with lighter wheels, but in the flesh the darker wheels make the 1M fenders really pop to my surprise.
FWIW 359 wheels look slightly better, but EC7 have one less Y-spoke 7 vs 8 so they are lightweight for a 19” wheel.

Agreed, might be the perfect happy medium.
Black 359 wheels are expensive, so I might darken my Apex wheels. Originally I wanted the FL5 in Anthracite or clear (both are a little darker than race silver/brushed) but the lead times were months out.
