Need help deciding rim color!

I have a Apex Silver Evo and am going to buy Team Dynamice Pro-Race 1's

I cant decide between charcoal grey or hi-po silver. My only problem with getting grey is that there is no polished lip and it wont contrast the colors.

Black would look sweet but I think it would look weird.

Any help would be appreciated!

i'd go gunmetal with the polished lip, grey is okay, and i'd take black over no polished lip on the grey.

Black or gunmetal. You need some contrast. You better make a decision quick because I think most of the Anthracite (sp?) are gone.

I bought the TDR ProRace 1 in Anthracite and contrary to popular opinion the wheels do not always look dirty, in fact I think they hide the fact that they are dirty better then silver. They are a darker grey color then many gunmetal wheels and they have some metal flake in them to make them shiney. If I was doing a silver car I would get the anthracite or black. Never a big fan of matching paint color and rim color, like some contrast

Saw the anthacite and dont like it. The black just doenst show the deatil of the rims enough.

I saw a guy on the board that has these wheels silver on silver and it looks hot. The enkei wheels are just too dull and the hi-po silver TD look sweet!

You will the like the wheels no matter the color. I like the anthracite on my BBY Evo just my taste. Just an FYI the wheels look way better without the stickers, took me 20 min and a little goo gone to get them off mine and I like them better now.
