Default which wheels are better Black or Silver on black GS4

Which of these wheels do you think will fit better on my wald GS4. Graphite or Silver or polish black (I am leaning more towards sliver with polish lip on 10 spokes) They both look good, hard to decide. (7-spokes) or (10pokes) see below.

Just update a side photo (last photo)

Since it's your car, the question, which do YOU like? I think you'll get either answer for your poll...

Personally, I prefer the silver. That way you can always plasti-dip them when you get sick of the color

I'm personally like the graphite look, but you really can't go wrong either way.

What wheels do you have on there now?

I think you're looking for an agreement on dark wheels. You have my vote. I personally like dark after market wheels on black GS. IMO your stock ones look nice too. Post a more side shot, I'll swap the wheels out for you to see.

+1 They both look good BUT brake dust will show more in silver.

I'd recommend graphite.

I would go with the graphite if you want a more sporty look or Silver if you really want to wheels to stand out, more of a classy look. I've seen G-Shark's ride in person and pictures don't do justice, it is one sweet ride. I went through the same dilemma, had purchased Vossen CV5s in matte graphite and ended up switching them out to Vossen CV4s in Silver Polished finish. While the matte graphite looked great, you really lose the depth of the wheel when it is dark outside. At the end of the day, go with what you like more!

Bro. Depends on what look your going for. I choose wheels based on the set up and accents on my car. Also tint plays a factor. If you look at 2 cars similar set up one tinted the other darkly tinted you have 2 completely different looking cars. So I mean it's totally up to you but black on black is AWESOME if it's well maintained..
Silver on black is also GREAT but I'll go with no tint with the silver look..
That's just me.. But at the end SEE WHAT LOOK YOU feel good with.. Both looking at the wheels are good choices with concave rears should look NICE

I personally like the Matte Black from Vossen Wheels....

NOT sure if the finishing for "Matte Black" is the same for other brands.

Silver gives more detail and never out of style. Black & Matte Black give a mean look., black wheels are in now but not sure about 3-5 years from now.
