Wheel color decision

I am ordering a set of wheels and cannot decide on which color to get. I have narrowed the wheel selection down to two. I can get them in silver, gunmetal, black, polished or any custom color. My evo is white and I fear that if I get color-matched, it will not look good. If anyone has a picture of a white evo with black, gunmetal wheels with a polished lip, please post them.

I would go with the 1st rim personally. If my evo was white I would get gold or silver rims. I would not color match them for sure.

Hmmm dems look like HRE's or Fiskes. Definately go gunmetal it's the best looking option for these rims IMO.

Those are both nice selections. I like the 5 spoke...reminds me of EvoDaves old HRE's. I like the silver, but if not that I would go gunmetal. What kind of wheels are those?

I am leaning toward gunmetal or custom gold paint or powdercoat. Maybe I need to photoshop it.

Sorry, not trying to be a dick, but I would prefer to not name them as that would inevitably spark a 'For that price, I would buy a [insert brand here] thread'.

Suffice it to say, they are custom, hand-built and they will make them however I choose.

I am kinda biased, I have owned mostly German cars. I think I have an affinity for these as they remind me of wheels past

Gunmetal. If these are HRE's or knockoffs made to look like HRE's then gunmetal will look sick.

first and my vote is bronze (custom color) white and bronze looks sick. If I had it all to do over I would choose a white car, if they didnt have black
