I think any shade of gray would be a nice contrast, but personally do
not like very dark colors on lux cars unless there's a poished lip on it.

silver painted wheels look white on our cars so you may or may not be
going for that look.

personally im using a light gray color from SSR (they call it satin).

What is the difference between Silver and Hyper Silver? I am looking at wheels and some of them have a silver finish and a hyper silver finish but I can't tell the difference from just looking at pics online...

I believe most of the hyper silver is very close to the gun metal color that some manufacture calls it.

hyper silver is kinda similar to the factory titanium finish except in a gray hue... it appears darker in color than a plain silver. it's a nice color.

kind of a in-between of silver and chrome.

WORK Termist wheels are custom crafted in Japan, and they are multipiece, thus they are more expensive than HP wheels, they weigh about 27-28lbs in 19".

for a daily driver i recommend a one piece wheel. modular wheels are a
pita to dry, especially 3pc wheels. (I know cause i have 1pc, 2pc, 3pc wheels).
