If your interior is black, get Hyper Black wheels.

If it's sterling, get the Light Grey.

If it's cashmere, get the Bronze. But I would rather get chrome for this; bronze is too bling: almost like dark gold...

Why not chrome? It works for all the colors?

I don't think bronze would look good with red. I vote for gunmetal.

Just something to keep in mind: the darker the color, the smaller it looks.

I agree. Darker colors are difficult to see. Darkest color I would get is gun metal, but not all gun metal is the same. I choose gun metal/dark gray

NO GOLD...Chrome or Grey! Or just a high polish would look sweet!
