POLL: what color body goes best with gunmetal rims?

I'm in the market for a new import, and i really want to get gunmetal colored rims this time. i just need to figure out what body color goes best with gunmetal. i was thinking white or red, black is cool, but it kinda makes the entire car look very dark, i like to have contrast in colors. so what do you guys think? if i didn't put a color you think looks good, tell me what it is. thanks.

All those those can look good with gunmetal rims, it just depends on what other accents you've got. It's harder to successfully pull off on a white car though...

Yup, that's sick. My dream color scheme is sterling mist with gunmetal wheels and a machined lip. Too bad I couldn't find a sterling mist 6 speed anywhere.

Black looks good too, so long as the wheel has a machined lip.

Pebble Beige

Black

Blue

Red

Silver

Grey

White

I think silver is the best match. It flows together yet has a nice contrast.

Most people choose rims to go with the car. Not a car to go with rims

Hmm...not really an easy choice, but I belive that black looks great with gunmetal wheels. Sterling mist will also look sick, as will grey lustre.
With a white car it doesnt look bad at all but I like the 1st 3 I named better.
Red, its alright but not a perfect match IMO.

This is the best combo. Grey Lustre then black then white.

Hamy your car looks great.
