New wheels on my DBS PIC

I got a set of new wheels on my DBS. Love the style and fitment but the color came in much darker then expected. It's a two tone wheel which is hard to tell in the pic but if you look closer you will notice the rim is dark grey with light grey spokes. I wanted lighter grey and almost silver on the spokes. The wheel shop is going to do right by me and send the wheels back to have them refinished. Now I'm thinking if I should go all silver like my factory rims were. What do you guys think? Any photoshop experts here that can do a rendering with an all silver wheel?

It's a PUR wheel 21s all around.

Those are very nice. I say yes to all silver but I would do that on almost any car.

I love 'em too! What a look!

BTW, are you on the OEM-spring set? Looks like the car is lowered.

As for color: I'm personally a big fan of silver wheels but looking at these rims I'd go for BMW ferric Grau which is imho a stunning dark-silver great for rims.

Are you selling your OEM DBS-rims?

That's the shade of grey I was thinking of sdekonig, combine bed with a lighter spoke. Car is lowered on H&R springs.

How's the ride quality on 21 inch wheels? What size did you have on before and how does it compare?

I was running factory 20s. I feel absolutely no difference in ride quality. Keep in mind I'm running HR springs which make the car ride harsher so that might be masking things a bit if there is anything to mask.

At first glance I thought reading "around on eBay" but from reading Anton's post in another thread I reckon he not selling his OEM DBS rims
