Default White or Gunmetal on BBM Color

My car is pretty close to looking the way I want it, now its time to start on my old lady's car.

She has a 08 IS in Breakwater Blue Metallic and told me she wants white wheel which arent my taste but could look good on that color. I would prefer her to go with a gunmetal color or something but need some help deciding. Her color seems pretty rare on this board so I dont really have a good idea what either would look like.

Examples or links would be appreciated

Linea Corse has a sweet color called Smoked Chrome... Maybe those might look pretty sweet on her ride. Other than that, gunmetal all the way.
Here's the link to the Linea Corse wheels. There are some pics on website of the wheels on a royal blue M3.. not quite BBM. Hope it helps.

I'm also looking for a set of wheels for my BBM and I had created a thread for it to get some ideas:

get gunmetal. White will be impossible to keep clean, and especially since its her car, nots yours.

Why don't you go with what your wife wants (white), its her car and she's the one who will be driving it most, if not all of the time.

When that ho gives me money for rent, utilities, food, and her car payment/ins she can decide what mods we buy for it D She had decided on gunmetal and does not want white because she said it looks "asian" lol
