Wheel Decision Help

New to the threads and I am finally beginning the process of making my Sportback Ralliart my own. I'm in the process of getting an appointment with AMS Performance to get a high flow cat, boost pill, EVO X BOV, and custom Dyno Tune done. While I wait I'm trying to decide on which wheels to fit.





Question is, do I go with the Hyper Silver or Gunmetal. I like the contrast of the Hyper Silver but worried that it would be to chrome-ish. At the same time I'm worried that the Gunmetal are too similar with out being black enough to match the car. Ideas? Advice? Thanks again, will keep posted on wheel decision, as well as engine status and additional cosmetic mods including a reproduction Ralliart trunk lip. (Found a company that will reproduce both the lip and Ralliart lower wing.)

That gunmetal looks mean.

Silver looks classy (esp. if you keep trim chrome).

Me? Mean wins every time!

Yeah darker ones looks more sporty. you can also look for a used set of Evo MR BBS wheels which are forged for about the same price.

Silver, can't go wrong. Darker ones will get old fast.

Pretty old post, but oh well. Which ones did you decide to get? I would go with the lighter ones because you can always plastidip them darker. The darker background is more forgiving if you botch the plastidip job and don't have time to fix it right away.
