I'm going through the wheel selection process as well. It really is such a personal choice and with so many options it's somewhat maddening

Regarding your question it really depends on the look you're going for. The bright silver will be closer to the OEM look you have with the silver wheels providing good contrast to the Black color of the car. But IMO I would go for the matte graphite for the stealth look with enough contrast so the wheels aren't completely lost in the all-black look

BTW what size do you plan to go with 19s or 20s?

I would go for the graphite to contrast a bit with the black car.
Are you staying with 19' size?

My vote is silver. Black wheel is nice up close but from just 10 yards plus away, the details can't be seen. Somewhat of waste if you have such a beautiful wheel. And I think for a black car, silver wheel brings the nicest contrast. All black (wheel and car) is a bit too much for me.

The only time I think black wheels are nice, near AND far, is in a yellow car. Obviously, this is just a matter of personal taste.

Note if you go 20 inch in these you wont get the concave look on the rear like the pic above. Suggest you get with Damon at TireRack for expert guidance.

I have a brand new set of silver OZ's sitting here in silver if you would like them!

Stock sizes with slightly more agressive offset.
