Opinion: wheel color on OB

Hey everyone

So it's been about 6 weeks since I picked up my 07 G coupe and starting to look around for some wheels and I am interested in 19" 5AD S5:F in gunmetal, but I'm not sure if gunmetal would look good with the OB or if I should just go with a flat black wheel. Any input would be appreciated!

I am on my iPhone at work so I can't post pics of
the wheels if anyone doesn't know what they look
like, sorry

Silver or Gold wheels... Gold is alot flashier, yet you can't go wrong with silver. Black wheels... eh i used to like that style but now its ehhhh because it's black... nobody would notice what kind of wheels they are until you're at a complete stop or parked. Any lighter colored wheels... you can see the details to it. You wanna floss your car as the wheels are spinning lol

Gold .. it will look sooo good when its rolling. Had a guy stop me at a red light on a hog lol and said it looked real nice driving by him.

Black chrome also looks good. Don't go with black .. it looks cheap IMO and silver is the norm.

I do agree that gold wheels are sexy but just a little too flashy for my style. If money wasn't an option for me I would go with work or volk wheels but I would prefer something cheaper so I still have some skrilla to wrap the wheels in some nice tires

I have a set of flat black Rota spectrums at TNT Autobody down at Sacrmento. They're wrapped in Falken 452s with lots of tread left. Have them painted at TNT into any color you want. If you're interested let me know. I'll hook you up!
