Default 5Zigen ZR+520 on Smokey Granite IS350

I am thinking about getting theses wheels and want to get everyones opinion on what color to go for. I really like the gun metal but I'm not sure if it will look good on my color car since there won't be much color different between the car and wheels. What do you guys think?

Also, What offset should I go for? I'm not too familiar with offsets so I am totally confused. Does this sound right?

Front: 19x9 +37
Rear: 19x10 +37

Thanks for all your input.

front offset sounds good, the rear is a little aggressive. maybe somewhere around 40-45 offset on a 10"

Would it help if I did a 9" on the rear?

Rear is not aggressive at all.... Front is almost flushed and rear can go way lower in offset.

So it sounds like the front is good with a 19x9 +37.

The options for a rear 10" are +37 and +20

+20 is too aggressive, your current settings is best 19x9 37 and 19x10 37. I suggest your tires be 225/35 265/35.
