Default Silver or Matte Black Wheels on Starfire Pearl IS?

Hi guys, I have finally narrowed down my wheel choice to the Eurotek UO02 wheels, but I have another troubling decision to make which is whether to have the Silver or Matte Black.Well as this is very subjective, id just like to know opinions from you guys.

I also have another question related to fitment, the wheels stats are 19" 8.5F/9.5R (OFFSET 35MM F/40MM R). Im on stock suspension and would be looking to drop it lower in the future.

Here are the wheels:

Matte Black


Hyper Silver

Based on your car's color: Silver for classy and refined. Black for sporty and aggressive.

Well put. Also to my eye any dark grey/gunmetal has the same effect as black.

Matte Black It also conceals brake dust more effectively!

definitely hyper silver. matte black, unless your car is SUPER aggressive looking in every other way, will simply look GHETTO. i see so many matte black wheels on just trashy cars with people trying to find the CHEAPEST way to flashy up their car.

The Euro you are looking at is more similar to the Advan Garde M310,M359, and M590. The M368 has split double spoke design. The Dolphin Grey looks fantastic on against the Starfire Pearl. I did not want Gloss Black or Matte Black. Decided to try something different and I am very happy with the result. GL
