Need help with wheel color on Diamond Graphite car...

Guys I need help trying to pic a wheel color for my I35. My car is Diamond Graphite (check sig) and I narrowed down my choices to ADR M Sport or HP racing EVOs. Either set of wheels will be 18x8 with a nice 1"+ lip, but I am having a hard time trying to figure out which color or wheel? On a diamond graphite car would a darker look like: hyper Dark or gun metal be better, or polish silver or hyper silver look better. A little feedback would help, thanks!
HP Racing Evos


or
Open link and scroll down to the different colors of the M sport.

If you guys don't like the posted wheels above, do you guys know what wheels would look nice on the I35? I hate Chrome on cars so anything but, chrome will do. I am having a hard time finding good wheels because the I35 look is not aggressive like the maxima. I need to find something in-between classy and aggressive to make the I35 stand out more.

I like the wheels you posted. It is a toss up to me. I think if you want a more subtle look, go with the Hyper Dark. If you want a little more contrast to set things off, the Hyper Light would do it. I don't think either are too flashy, but they do give a nice aggressive custom look.

Do you know how to photochop? If someone could photochop those on my car I would appreciate it. I can post a bigger pic of my car if needed!?!

Lee, I like the wheels you posted, but it's been my experience on these cars that if you go with any kind of a wheel with a lip, it looks smaller.

My point being - 18s on an A33 look pretty good. But when you go 18s with a noticeable lip with this car, they end up looking like 17s and just look too small.

If you're bent on these wheels, my vote goes for the darker ones in a 19" variety.

Thanks Meta,

I never purchased a wheel with a lip before so, I really have no clue what the 18 or 19s will look like at all on my car. I wanted 19s but i have a MAJOR problem with DC streets and most members here in DC don't even upgrade past 17s or 18s. I had 20's on my truck and it was the worst driving into dc, I even had to change my normal route coming into work just to avoid the road conditions. Anyway, if I can get better rubber, I will get the 19's but I haven't seen any deals on these wheels with bigger rubber. This is why I would like to photoshop these wheels on my car (I have no skills at all with photoshop).

I understand about completely about the ride. I've come insanely close to buying G35 18" wheels on two separate occasions, but refrain because I want to keep the ride quality I have.

I'm very picky about the way a vehicle rides, and already being lowered, while not bad, I don't think *I* can tolerate any more degradation.

If you did go 19s, without a doubt make sure you run at least 245/35/19s.

And as for photoshop, I'd do it but at the moment I have not the software nor the time. PM SoundMike. He does a pretty good job and should help you out.
