wheel color?? need to decide soon..
i am ordering my wheels and would like to get it done since it's a long 10 weeks wait.
i am stuck on the color choice. i thought it would be nice to have some contrast for my silver car. but i absolutely do not want black wheels as it makes everything so dark.
i have photoshop here on my car a color that is offered. it is darker than usual gunmetal but lighter than black.
please tell me what you think. other option is to go with burshed alum color as shown on second photo.
thanks.

Did you consider chroming the whole wheel? I have always been partial to chrome on a silver car. Just a thought

Something between the two in a flat paint.

can they just do the center to match the car. i didn't say brushed but silver. less busy the better.
reason of being silver is u have too many colors going on now including silver panels, black under trims, red brake calipers. gunmetal will be too busy not to mention the polished lip. if it's a wheel like HRE 545/547R where the spokes are less & thin then u can get away with GM & might look cool. the wheel u choose already look fancy itself u don't need any more color for the visual.
just my opinion of course.
