Platinum Wheels, please hel me decide.

Hey guys,
Saw this car on the dealer, 2014 C4S, Saphire blue, Aerokit, PSE, CPO, 500miles on the ODO, love at first sight!!
Dealer gave me a good Price on it and I am sold.
They offer me to change the wheels for a set of Platinum Silk for $1500 for a sportier look.
I know this is a matter of personal preference, but I am 50/50 on this, I would take the Platinum wheels on any other color, not sure about the blue.
Please help me decide.
Thanks!

Both wheel colors look great with that blue! You can't go wrong. I would stick with the wheels shown in the picture tho as my personal opinion is that the contrast is greater than the platinum colored wheels. The formula is something like this: Lighter color body go with darker wheels, and darker color body go with lighter color wheels.

Take the stock wheels for now, then get a set of REAL wheels once your budget recovers from the buy - put that $ 1,500 towards a set of forged alloys. Stocker is stockers no matter how you paint 'em.....

I'd do the Platinum Satin, but I may be biased.

My dealer has a Sapphire Blue C4S with the platinum wheels and I don't think they look very good with the blue. Just my opinion. I ususally like them, but just not sure about them on the Sapphire.

Platinum.
IMHO a darker color wheel will look better with that blue.
Wheels will be dark anyways with brake dust ; )

Ahhh.....wow. Look at that photo.

"Honey, go put those lizard high heels on and stick your leg up on the tire while I pull out my camera, you're still hot - gimme a crotch shot pose."

Wait.....is that a man's leg? It is, isn't it. OK, now I get it, its a joke.

the poster (galion) from brazil was looking for a comparison of the Pt Silk Wheels on a blue car....only blue i had to help him.

glad you think she is a guy, hadn't realized how politically correct the crop was. those legs have won multiple world cups, usa championships and been through IM races and she has yet to flunk a drug test.
whatever turns you on i guess applies

I think platinum wheels look great on any color car. You won't have to clean them as often.
