I've got the first one in silver ) Looks better than SSRs, noticeably less weight and the overall design is more refined. Check my build thread. There are pics of 3IS on these SSRs on their USA website. RAYS look good from any angle when SSRs' spokes seems fatty and the whole rim looks a bit ugly from 3/4 view.

Honestly it's your preference and it also depends on the color on your car. In my opinion the silver ones stand out more than the black

I like the black but I have a pure white car so it contrasts well.

The rays.
Black would look good on anything, regardless of what color your car is, imo.
