Having second thoughts on the finish of my wheels, I need your opinion... *pics*

I was so close to buying a gunmetal set of Ro_Ja Formula 7's, but I never have had a gunmetal set of wheels and had second thoughts and went with a silver finish instead. Ive had them for a couple weeks, I cant install them yet, I'm still saving a bit more for tires. I took one out to my car and took a couple pics with it. What do you guys think? Will it looks good when I put them on or should I have really gone with a gunmetal set? Im afraid they look to light.. they look lighter than the stock wheels.

Heres a couple pics...





Let me know your honest thoughts. Thanks

I would of went for the gunmetal rims to match your current dark color scheme. But in any case, those rims are HOTT!

They will look pretty white in direct sunlight, but will look very good at dawn/dusk.

Gunmetal is good, but everyone has gunmetal...be original.

I went with satin and they are perfect for my silver.

go woth something different... or you coud get some gunmetal volks on a dg coupe but that wouldn't be too original. i think the silver will look good. plus you already have them so use them... then if you don't like them sell them.

IMO i think if you have to ask this question, you have already made up your mind...go with a rim that blows your socks off, not rims that create doubt in your mind...you have to live with your decision, make one that you can sleep with at night...

i think they look a little light for your paint, but you have the final say...

I think some of you missed what I was trying to say. I bought them knowing they would be lighter than my car. This was the look (not wheel design but color wheel on DG) that I was trying to obtain...



So let me rephrase the question, do you think my wheels will look that color on my car or will they look lighter?

Gunmetal is played out and ugly.

Nice wheels. Keep them as they are.
