Gloss/Matte Black or Gunmetal Forgestar F14'S?

[Perfectlap]

I generally like body and wheel color matched wheels on most colors except black.
The black rubber on black wheel just gets too muddled. Reminds me of a police car.
So I vote for gun metal. What I would prefer to see is a wheel that had combination of gun metal and silver. Like the 997 Turbo wheels where the wheel face is flat, the recessed parts would be gun metal and the top surface is silver...giving a dynamic 3-D effect of sorts.

The BBS RS/GT in Diamond Black were my FAV-O-RITES, but I couldn't justify $3500 for a set of wheels.
They are BBS's proprietary gunmetal with polished aluminum rims. Surprisingly, they were also much heavier than to OZ's I bought.

Can't go wrong with the RG5s... although you might miss how easy it is to clean your carrera lights, or maybe you don't clean them at all because they're black.

Another vote for gunmetal...I hardly ever have to clean my wheels because they never look dirty. Lol

If you do go with the gun metal see if you can get the paint color matched and paint the side intake housing (not the slats) in the same color, maybe that shark fin thing directly in front of your rear wheels too. You'll probably have to do the same with wheel caps if you want a factory type finish.

For a previous car I once sent in a paint sample to a place called Tower Paint and they sent back a couple of aerosol spray cans with the same paint, I think it was like $20 a can. I used it to touch up the chips on the side view mirrors and a few other pieces after laying down an adhesion promotor from Autozone. The nozzle had a pretty good spray pattern so after a few light coats it looked just as good as the rest of the car.
