Thinking of getting wheels powder coated. What color would u match best with Silver Grey?

[STREETFIGHTER50]

So I'm thinking of getting these BBS RKs powder coated. I've always liked gunmetal colored wheels, but not sure if it would go good with the Silver Grey. Here's pics of one of my Stangs I had gunmetal RKs on.

They look dark in both pictures, but I blame the lighting. Should look great, but I'd go a little brighter.

I have gunmetal on my car now (had the factory wheels refinished) and love them, but not sure that I would go with that on a silver/gray car.

I have silver grey and went with E92 M3 reps. The aluminum look is nice, but not as aggressive as I wanted. An old friend has BBK CH's on his silver grey ZHP and they were black with the aluminum lip, man did they look AMAZING! I found reps on ebay, but they are like 25lbs each. YIKES!

Here is my ZHP now......hope it helps.....

Nice!

I like a bright contrast from wheel to body color so not sure if a true gun metal would provide that but that's just me. Polished hold any interest to you?

Silver grey needs at least anthracite to contrast properly.

I like the traditional silver wheels on SG. Gives a good contrast... Black prob contrasts more, but darker colors seems to wash out which is all I'm trying to say.

I also have silver grey paint and also wanted some gunmetal wheels - originally the VMR VB3s.

But in the end, I went lighter instead of darker and got the AG M359s:

I'd say either go darker but not completely black or lighter, like silver.

Agreed which is why I went anthracite. It's almost charcoal black but still gives definition to the shape of the wheel and is light enough to not get totally lost in the shade/shadows.

+1 lighter is better.

Nice cars folks! I'm kinda leaning on staying silver. Gunmetal might be too close to Silver Grey. I'd love to have them BBS Plasma, but I doubt my powder coater will have that.

Good call, I think gunmetal is a little too close.
