PLEASE help me out for rim color

I'm so excited to wait for my coil, my stereo setup, and also my "3rd" setssss of rims..><
The second set is totally horrible about the fitment since i tried to fit all 20X10, then i sold it to my G coupe friend right away. So, please dont mention about my 1st set, I know how ghetto it is^^

I need some help about choosing colour for the rims ( i placed my money order today, but i still have few days to choose before next monday about the colour)
SILVER
TITANIUM
PIANO BLACK
I'm ordering Forgestar F14 (20X9.5 +25 all the way), should i get Hyper silver, Titanium or piano black??( since the dealer that i went only has these 3 options)


Hope the coil and the F14 could complete the outlook of her.(luxury>classic> sporty)
Will lower her more when i get the coil; about half finger gap @ front, and 1 finger gap @ rear.
the rim will go with 245/35/20 T1 R
thanks

OH.... a bad news for me..
the Titanium has to wait 3-6 MONTHSSSSSSSSS
so here are the new choices
SILVER
GUNMETAL
GOLD
PAINO BLACK

I think silver looks the best, kind of a oem look.

but titanium stands out more and others wouldn't think its oem.

YEA i would love to get the Titanium as my first choice, but just got a bad news from the dealer that i go through.
the Titanium has to wait for 3-6 months to do so, by the time i get the rims will be almost next year so i give it up now.
so i have 2 news choices GOLD and GUNMETAL

only issue I think you'll have is the front will be flush, while the rear will need a wider tire than 245, a 255 tire would fit best, to keep front and rear looking even.

if your going for the classy look I'd say gold... is your G black?

Go for either silver or gunmetal to give it some contrast and keep the luxury look too.
Check out Wes_888's setup, he has F14's in titanium on his OB ride and they look great.

I'm trying to do it tonight, and also ask my dealer again if he can get me either machined black or Titanium in 6-8 weeks.

OH BTW u mention my front will be too flushy ?? with 20 X 9.5 +25??
should i change to +30 all the way? ( i wanna stay flush but not aggressive) still have 3 days to make sure..
but mine is an AWD so i just wanna be easy without calculation so i choose all wheels and tires the same ^^

If titanium is gonna take so long then I'd say gunmetal is your best choice.
It'll give a sporty look while keeping it classy and it'll be a lot more noticeable than black would. Silver is great too but won't stand out as much since it is an OEM color. You can't go wrong with either though.

Go with either 9.0" +25 like Wes did or get 9.5" +32 if you want the extra width in order to avoid running too much camber.

Edit: Forgot to say that you'd be fine with 9.5" +25 all around but you might rub your fender liner a bit on bumps if you plan on running 245/35/20 or bigger.

I thought you were rwd.

get 9.0 front +25
R 9.5 +30

that should be a good balance and help keep your camber low
