IP/MW Wheels - Gunmetal, Gloss Black, or Matte Black?

Would like to hear some opinions on what color rim would match a 2009 Moonlight White sedan best - gunmetal, gloss black, or back? Wheel design will be either mesh or multispoke (10+ spokes).

I'm leaning strongly toward matte black.

Pics are appreciated!!!

aggresive = any kind of black, Classy = polished, or hyper silver or something like that

Yea, agreed. The black will be used as a winter setup. If everything goes as planned, I will get hypersilvers in the Spring/Summer.

I agree that it looks nice, but Gold is not an option.

Thanks guys. I've made up my mind.

Drumroll.....







Tenzo Type-M Version 1 in Matte Black (37 offset)



The plan is to use this setup during winter and early spring. Because we do see snow and ice I'm going for the 18" and likely 245/45-18 tire. Does anyone think 4.34" sidewall will take away from the look? Stock is 4.87". I was thinking the (matte) black wouldn't provide contrast with the tire so the sidewall wouldn't be as prominent as it would with a lighter color wheel.

Nice wheel! Looks like a BBS. Can I ask where you found it? What does it weigh? What kind of money?

Also I think that would look great on a white car.

Info here - [ TENZO-R ] TENZO RACING SPORTS OFFICIAL WEBSITE

23.3lbs. Not racing light, but not too heavy either. Again, the idea is to use these for winter so the weight was not a huge factor. I wanted matte black, mesh design, and not too expensive. These fit the bill.

I bought from elementwheels. They beat wheelsnext's price.

Also, I think the widest they can possibly go is 10 inchs. Do you plan on getting spacers?

No. The ones I got have 37 offset. I'm hoping that will be close to flush, but we shall see.
