Gloss black, suits the car and colour and makes it look harder. :evilgrin:

Black is soooo common, dahlings! It's last year's fashion colour.

What I don't like about black wheels is that they visually merge with the black tyre. They also tend to look like black steelies without the plastic hubcaps. They also look like you are trying too hard to look 'hard'.

If you want to go dark, go anthracite or titanium, or similar. Gold actually could look good.

More folks on here will vote black. Do what YOU prefer and not what the populace does.

Anthracite.

 :happy2:

Black is too extreme against the blue paint IMO.  Silver make you just look like one of the lemmings.
