I have been waiting to buy them. I like the axis Hagen's but waiting from wholesale dealer to find out if I can get in gunmetal. Or do you think gunmetal wouldn't look good on a gray lustre Maxima.

I think gunmetal looks horrible on any color car.

I think Grey Lustre is too close to gunmetal for either to come out better for the color combination. Get silver. Oh yeah, I like the second ones...

go with the Sebrings if it's not too late.....there's something about how the wheels "look", especially chrome mesh type, while your rolling.

Gunmetal rims look nice on dark or silver colored cars. Silvers are plain and they GET dirtier looking in a few days. Not to mention that they look like cheap plastic rims with that clearcoat on them. I suggest a balance- something like a polished metal look, semi shiny, not too plasticky, and not dark as tires.

I guess I will have to wait till I call Axis and ask them what it looks more like gunmetal or black.
