Wheel color choice on 19's

Which color wheels look best? Black or Silver. I used temporary paint to try out black. Thanks for any feedback. I think I am leaning toward black.

I'm partial to dark colored wheels. I have some black BSAs coming in for my Arena Red coupe and it should look nice. However, whatever finish you have on those Champions, it looks smoking!

I think I'm going to leave them silver for now. I may paint them when I get a new front bumper and wing.

Well at least you've began,

Lowered, side markers, wheels, brakes, tint, smoked rears.... Yes, you're ready to move into the bigger upgrades.

silver, like mine.

black might make it look like one of those "tuner" cars (?)

I won't vote for black on your car, your color is too dark right now... You need some contrast...
