With the choices you listed, i would go with gunmetal as well... black on silver is too common, the gunmetal looks much better.

Id go gunmetal if you want to play it safe or if you feel like something different, try bronze. Much better than gold.

Silver and polished. But that is what I have and think it looks really good. Not too over the top. The gold just doesn't work for me on a silver car and the gunmetal makes it look like you were trying to match the silver but missed by a long way.

please, please, please do yourself a favor and look at the AME line for wheels. They have a killer diamond polish finish that isnt too bright, but more eye-catching than silver painted wheels.

That photoshop gold doesn't look to good, but I've seen some nice gold rims on silver cars before. If you have the right shade of gold I think they can look great. Not too sure on the lighter silver GS color though as most I've seen were a little darker silver. I also don't really care for gun metal on light silver cars. On dark silver they look great though. The polished silver is pretty universal and matches pretty much any car.
