Question Which Rim Would Look Better?

So just out of curiosity, i was offered a set of RAYS rims from Spec-D Tuning. But they asked which color I wanted.

So my questions is this:

What color would look best on a TW Fit Sport?
Silver? or Gunmetal?




*edited* Earlier post made it sound as if RAYS was offering it to me :x oops.. *edited*

I would probably just paint the stockers... but that's just me. Gun metal to me is a little more subtle and i'm all about stuble.

Silver hands down. More subtle, the gunmetal looks a little tacky, like for a Scion.

I think the Gunmetal might look a little sportier but the silver would give for a clean look. What size are they and which do you prefer? Also what are your overall intentions with the car (as far as modifications). Are you looking for clean? or more of a "tuned" look?

Also, Size will make a difference in which style/color looks better. What size are they and do you have a choice/preference?

How is painting stock rims gunmetal more subtle than leaving them silver?

I'd say go with the gunmetal then. Gunmetal has enough of a different look to complement darker accents and what [looks to be] tinted windows. Silver doesn't show off the upgrades well enough.

I think gunmetal would look better (more contrast) against the white paint, especially with the tint, etc. And I just like gunmetal better.

I think gunmetal would look better as opposed to the silver one. What's the point of getting silver when the OEM wheel is aleady silver. Well since they are 17" I guess silver is ok then but still. Maybe something in between the silver and gunmetal would work like the color option on a Volk's RE30. I believe the color option is Gunmetal Titanium-ish. It's dark but not as dark as a straight gunmetal color.

on those wheels i would go with silver unless you paint that center cap. it's going to look like some werd DOT in the middle of your wheel.

Gun metals boring, just like bronze. Silver looks good on white.
