Haha Tommy! I know, I just made up my mind. Thanks a million BSB. The front bumper lip is at my house now! Just got in from Suncoast. That and a new rear sway are about to get installed.

Color

Semi-Gloss Black, the easiest to keep clean!

Second ideal

Some have already said, match the color of the car, the first ideal fast simple and doesn't cost a lot.

Here's a slightly different option. Powder base coat TG P7 Iron glimmer metallic polyester with a semi gloss clear coat polyester. These are my track day tires and I won't have pictures of them mounted on the car for a couple of weeks. Anyway, a subtle difference from black...

I went with flat black on the Seal and Flat Gun Metallic on the E. I think dark wheels in any color will look fantastic on your turbo!

it does look nice sometimes, but it is a bit played out with all the dub edition vehicles.

You have the BOMB wheels in a serious offest. Wrong color IMO. They just fade in black...

flat black looks real stealthy on a gray car. Intimidating.

Wow, I guess thats a great compliment! The color of the wheels looks sick in person and contrasts nicely from the metallic paint and tire dressed tires! Trust me you will turn many heads with the "black" package...don't forget the badges and tinting the tails. I also would look into body matching a C4S front lip...I think it looks amazing...better than the Turbo lip imho.
