Best Color Combo?

If this needs to be moved to a better suited sub-forum then go ahead

Well I wondered...what is the best color combination with these wheels on a grey car. So I decided to photoshop the colors and make it into a poll.

Yes I still have the color matched 19s. Giving them a rest, to touch them up and get a bent wheel fixed.

Pic #1 is stock and the rest are not

Comments welcome.

Cool looks like most of you picked silver so far. Good goes with the silver / grey theme!

will try to post a lighter gun metal once I do the ps.

Silver. I'd go with black if it has a polished rim and center like your current rims.

Jess, I think with your smoked tails and front corners and dark tint, the wheels should be a little darker than the body color--that makes the paint pop just a bit more. I voted gunmetal, but a little lighter shade than your Photo Shop job here, and a little less glossy.

Alright still most of the vote is for silver. So I'll keep them the way they are


Just kind of wondered if anyone would like bronze on grey. I tend to lean more towards bronze on black, blue, or pearl white cars

yeah.. the silver matches the chrome in your headlights, smoked corners, the door trim, door handles, and the tail lights.. to silver.. -1 to the other choices

The gunmetal doesn't go with with the color of your car. I would say silver. I must say i do like the Dark Bronze as well though

number one flows well, especially with the sidemarkers and your window trim.

Of those I like number 1 the best, but a color in between number 1 and number 4 wouldn't be bad at all.

If I were to rank it, I would rank in this order, the first being the best:

1.) a lighter graphite, between number 1 and number 4
2.) number 1
3.) number 3

I don't think you can go wrong at all with any of those
