Need Your Opinion on Wheel Color

I will be purchasing new wheels next week and I have decided on the 19" Forgestar CF5V.

My car is platinum silver with flat black accents (except the window trim, it's now gloss black).

I am pretty sure I will get the wheels in silver but thought about gunmetal or flat black. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion before purchasing.

Silver or gunmetal, I'd say gunmetal though. Not a fan of flat black on a silver car.

Yeah, I just threw that one in there to have another option. I was 70/30 Silver/Gunmetal... but slowly leaning towards gunmetal now

I had those exact wheels in bronze burst but I didn't like that color because you cant see the wheel design at night =\

Do you think gunmetal would be easier (than bronze) to see at night? Design visibility is one of the reasons I was originally leaning towards silver.

I vote that the mods move this thread from the REVIEW section to the Tech area.

No offense to anyone with black wheels, but on average IMO, black wheels are played out. Why do I say that? What color does every newb "PlastiDip" or paint their cheesy aftermarket or factory wheels?

The Gunmental should keep a sporty classy look while adding an aggressive look.
