Cargraphic wheel finish help.....

Which of these finishes on a cargraphic wheel would look best on a Meridean Silver turbo....

The first pic is an oriiginal ROH wheel pic, then I photoshopped 3 cargraphic finishes... First being silver, second charcoal, third black.....

Meridean Silver is tricky, most of the silver will look off. Darker will match better. Since your have aggressive body kits. Black will be my choice. I have my Cargraphic in semi gloss black and couldn't be happier!

I'm with Ray, black will look the best. I just got my wheels back from the powdercoater and will post up pictures of the wheels tonight (got them done semi-gloss jet black).

black is nice but the thing that sucks about is your can't really see the design of the wheel...

Ray your car is so damm amazing ! I love the stock body for the most part on wheels and a nice drop, makes me realize how beautiful the car is even stock.

BTW i think im getting the techart add on wing in place of my GT2, i think it suits the car much better whith the stock decklid!!
