I had those Privats in Forged gray on my lexus. They are a bitch to clean because the finish on the spokes are not smooth like paint, but rather a rough textured paint finish.

That is what I was thinking about that matte Grey, I was going to ask that actually. The matte Grey has a rougher finish, so when the brake dust gets on it, it probably would be a b***h to clean off.

Thanks 'Black Sedan' that save me that hassle.

go with silver, it would match the chrome trim around windows and handles. If you plan to black out the trim, go with black.

I thought of going with the black because even when they are dirty its not that noticable, and it would give the car the stealthy look but I like the silver also, hard decision.

never been a fan of black. I always thought it looks ghetto. More contrast just looks better to me on black cars. Silver on silver is OK since most rims come factory a silverish color. If I were buying aftermarket wheels I'd definately go staggered. Forget rotating your tires anyway. Most of our rear tires will wear out before the fronts by our style of driving anyway. Besides I never understood why anyone would want all 4 of their tires to wear out completely at the same time. Then you end up having to pay o replace all 4 tires at once. I have almost always replaced my rear tires more frequently and fronts here and there. No staggered on the X though. Wish I could have got staggered on my girls X but there are some problems that will occur just can't remember what that is.

I love my hyper black colored rims on my black sedan. I'd also love to see these rims on a black sedan

For those with horrible roads in their area, do you guys have 19" rims with a 40 Series tire or 20" rims with a 35 Series tire. I'm worried with all of the pot holes on the roads, I'm thinking of maybe going with 19's and a 40 Series tires for extra sidewall protection

If you have a lot of potholes in your area save yourself the trouble and get the 19's.

I like the look of the gloss black and the matte grey because of the stealth look however I also like the Silver, has a nice shine to it, not too crazy like chrome but stands out, I Need Help!

All input would be great guys thanks
Just my opinion, I've never liked black rims, I think it does away with complementing a vehicle's color and creates a sort of dull look. I'd go with a high silver on a black car, but thats just me, I'm not into chrome, I think it's close to be considered old school. I'm a stock type of dude, so if your flashy by all means go all out. Hope you get the look your looking for buddy.
