what do you guys think, which wheel color? PS, this is not my car, just some pics I found on the net.

Silver

Matte Black if your car were to be painted the same as the other... uh...when you get to the paint. Bad deal doesn't look like there should be any survivors.
 
Hmmmmmm, I don't think you have a Boxster. I think you should get pink to go with your loin cloth! :eek:

Don't worry. That's just where the metal rolled. It'll steel out.

I'd go back with the silver wheels.

I should have posted a poll. C'mon Ducci, which do you prefer, matte black or silver or maybe gunmetal gray....

With the black dust that the brake pads produce today, keeping silver wheels clean is a bioch (it takes longer just to clean the silver wheels on the BMW than it does the whole car!). So, I would go with the matte black or a satin gunmetal grey, nothing shiny or light color. The matte black has a much raceier look to me also.

I thought Cobalt hired Teabags to be his houseboy. Doesn't he clean wheels?
 
I know there are off-road specific wheels that have a teflon coating to prevent brake dust, mud and other junk from sticking to the wheels, hence easy cleaning. I think Pro-Comp makes a bunch of styles. Generally they are matte black in color.

Not sure if anyone makes similar wheels for sports cars though...
 
yah, I am leaning towards the matte black, but this gunmetal looks good too.

Well one thing is for sure, no matter what you choose it is going to look great.

I do agree w/Ducci in taht the blac will look raceier, but those silver ones are just SWEEEEETT!!!

Let us know what you decide though.
 
If it has to be on a girls car :foot:, I'd go matte black. A light gunmetal like that is still a pain.
