Black or Gun Metal

Trying to decide what to get. Seems like everyone is getting black wheels these days. I'm partial to that look as well, but am now wondering how a gunmetal wheel (say a 5 spoke or something like that) would look on a black coupe.

Not sure how to put up a poll, so, thoughts?

Black or gunmetal?

Neither. Looks cheap IMHO. I have never liked black wheels on a black car. I have seen some "show" type cars that look pretty good, but looks real cheap, ricer and like something a young kid would run.

Personally, I'd go with hyperblack, silver or diamond cut. If I had to choose between black or gunmetal on a black car, I'd go with the black.

Slow down man. It wasnt a personal attack. DAYUM. I said I dont care for that look much. Most of those cars look good with dark wheels. I wouldnt get them for myself though.

Sorry I dont conform. I like what I like, he asked for opinions, I gave mine.
I like to keep cars clean, sexy and sleek. Im not into big bumpers and body kits, cars so low you have to watch every bump. I think the G looks SUPER HOT just as it is. I like the OEM "kit, splash guards and front lip, nice sharp wheels that dont take attention away from the car, they just add a bit.

I do like the "sauerkruat" comment. That was funny!

Is this considered hyperblack? I wonder how these would look on a black G?
