Red face Need opinion on wheel color!

Thinking of getting these wheels from the Vendors.

http://varrstoen.com/blog/?p=1346

Can't decide if I should go with Hyper black or Hyper silver, I don't know which one matches better. The color of my car is SGM (Smokey Granite).

Please post your opinions thanks!

I can see why its a hard decision, both wheels look really good. My vote is for hyper black but with a color matched or silver center cap (not red).

Hyper Black IMO. Can't go wrong with either though.

For SGM I say they both look good. Normally I am not a fan of hyper black but the lip makes it look good.

I am not a bug fan of the Red in the center of wheels, go with black or silver there IMHO.

8yrs?!?!

most will agree, if your living in vancouver, and i mean the city of vancouver, chances are you are very careful where you are driving with the VI blitz going on. arguments can be made for both sides, but regardless, if they want to ding you on something, they will find something to ding you on, maybe your car is fine, but you walk with a cambered bunk leg which they see you unfit to drive and slap you with a B.I. body inspection
