Default Wheel opinions

For the second time since the 1990's, I ordered non-chrome wheels. I like the black wheels so much on our black 3GS that I wanted to continue the non-chrome thing for the GS350. The car is glacier and the wheels I chose are silver. Here's my question to you guys:

I'm thinking about color matching the wheels. Would you leave them silver or paint them glacier frost?

I wouldn't match the wheels with GFM... Gunmetal doesn't go either... Leave them silver, maybe polished or chrome, but I wouldn't go crazy with other colors.

gunmetal, gray, silver, polished, chrome

While the car will still look good with any of the aforementioned styles I think it's too old school. I'd go with two-tone wheels (color matched face with chrome windows or do the reverse and go with a diamond cut face and painted inserts). It looks much nicer and while it takes longer to get it done it's well worth it and it'll make you stand out and not look like all the "other" cars.

Very interesting no has asked what wheels I ordered. That's good cause I'm not telling. They're nothing special but I'd rather wait til I see them in person before getting opinions about the choice. They're paid for and will be here tomorrow...no use discussing the choice now.

Still interesting though. You guys are usually very curious.

Please no color matching. Either chrome or silver with polished lips.
