Black is good for stealthy look on the street.

If you're planning to take pictures of your car "especially on the track" the brighter finishes show much better. You can see which way the front wheels are pointed better. Also easier to see the relationship between the wheel and tire.

heh, and if you're driving your car hard, the finish is going to get jacked-up by the brake heat & dust either way.

My vote GOLD!!! They'll look like ***, until you put them on your car

For silver I like a gun metal/gray/graphite. But on black gold = beautiful.

That was Thunder Hill, in Northern California. 'Was when we were still running stock fenders on the race car...

The centers on our current wheels are farely dark, but the polished lip, helps them stand out. Heh, still like the goldies best though.

Beware, like I said. Gold looks scary, until it's on the car.

good luck!

Negative B... i bronze is the most popular color. Majority of the wheels in the owners classifieds are bronze. Gold is sounding even better now. I grew up in HC.

light colored car should have darker wheels and vice versa to set up contrast and show them off.
Silver car graphite, gunmetal, or black wheels. Polished lip will set it off even more.
