Default Which wheels - Black or Silver

CL members. I am going to get new wheels for my SC 400. They will be 18". I can't decide Black or Silver. I am 50/50 now.
I have Silver color car (sorry. I used picture of one of the member here. I am at work and don't have picture of my car). Please let me know your opinion.

Here is basically the same wheel in Machine Finish...I feel like the black with polished lips is getting played out...

That is by the worst photoshop I have ever seen....lol.....

Thank you Catman ^^. I ordered the silver color with new tires. I looked more careful and I don't like the silver insert inside the black. I can't wait for them to come.

I've had pretty much all the standard colors for wheels on my SC.....

Bought it with factory 16" chrome wheels, then silver TT wheels, then gunmetal 18" Ruff Racing Wheels, then smoked titanium 19" Work Meisters, then Matte black center anodized with polished lip CCW Classics, then Fully polished CCW SP500's...

For my car, chrome is too blingy, polished was too much of a pain in the *** to upkeep (never again), the matte black never looked clean and would absorb brake dust too easily and over time just look dull and brownish.

This time around, I have one set redone in a black chrome (dark gunmetal wit hgloss clear), and the other set in a pearl black with gloss clear and polished and cleared lip.

Always liked the look of gunmetal and black, but it's gotta be cleared if you want them to last. If you have dusty brake pads, it's a must.

Silver is also a great option and one of my favorites. I was going to go with silver on one of my wheels, but didn't think it would look good on THAT particular wheel.

Awesome, glad I could help. Post up some pics on here when you install the wheels. What are the exact specs and tires that you're going with? Are your fenders rolled?
