Default Need Opinions on Wheel Color!
So Im planning to buy a set of Vossen CV3s whenever my current tires wear out but Im having a problem deciding on what color to get them in. I really love the color combo of the machined black but my car is SGM and I havent seen any SGMs with CV3s in this color

My buddy has machined black CV1s on his Accord so he took one of his wheels off and I put it next to my car to see how it looks.





What do you guys think? Would my car look better with CV3s in machined black or matte silver? If anyone has CV3s (that are not in matte graphite) please post pics! I appreciate any feedback!

wheels look good im sure they will fit and stand out as for the purple dont try something thats already out there, if u want to paint the wheels get a different color.

I'm defiantly NOT painting them lol. I just wanted to see what people thought looked better on a SGM. Machined black or matte silver for CV3s
