I'm not choosing my rims based on these results... I'm just curious on whether GunMetal happens to be everyone's colour here, and why...

You could have read one of the dozens of "what color wheel with my ______ colored car" threads too, ya know. We've got plenty last I checked.

Black looks good but then again I think it all depends on the colour of ones car. I have black powder coated rims on my car but it is also a dark pearl gray.

See my first post. Contrast. Nothing brings out the wheel like contrast and nothing brings out the body like a contrasting wheel.

It's the same reason red looks good with green, blue looks good with orange, and yellow looks good with purple.
