If you're going with the stealth look the wheels have to be white.

i agree on the roof however...it has to be white. 
Maybe a medium to dark gunmetal grey? Just a little contrast to the flat black which looks good.
+1 for the white on black wheels and bezel.
Murdered-out black on black is....just....too black.

I think you need to find a way to include SOME contrast, even if it's subtle. Gloss and matte would be a good example. I like the idea of gun metal gloss grille and rims.
The risk with flat paint jobs, eapecially black, is that it often makes a car look sloppy or unfinished. Most of the pics you see online are of cars that have just been washed. But in real life, it can look really bad.
That's why I love the idea of satin or semigloss paint. It gives you the flat look without making it look like the rig is in primer.
That's of course just my opinion, so do what makes you happy!

I love the look, but here in the SW, it would fry my brains in the summer! Not to mention sear my flesh while I was wrenching.
2-tone (white top) example
Perfect as is! Dont change anything......

Done! Well, never really done.
Look great!
I like flat black, but I just don't know how it's going to age. I think people are going to be able to tell when it was painted as quick as seeing a lime green paint job with neon pink paint drip graphics.
That black top looks really nice on your rig.
I don't think so. Flat black has been used in the hot rod crowd for ever. As long as you use a good flat black (i.e. john Deere Blitz Black), it should look good for years and years.
