Default Need HELP- Which wheel would look better on a silverstone?

I'm getting the Racing Hart J8's, debating between gunmetal and the silver polish, what do you guys think? Gunmetal may be toooo dark on silverstone.


Anyone have pics of this wheel in silver?

Here is the gunmetal:




Here's my silverstone:

I vote silver. I'm a firm believer that the wheels should be lighter than the body color to contrast the car. It always looks better that way, IMO.

gunmetal will look "Racing style" and silver will look "classier". Which look do you want? I vote classy.

you may want to look at the BBS RGR's in Diamond Black finish. I have them on my SB roadster, and I'm sure would look great on you Silverstone coupe. Don't be fooled by the "black" nomenclature; they're about the same color as the optional 18" wheels on the G35 Coupe.

BBS RGR's look very similar to volk sf winnings/adr m sports..it's a mesh design. they're nice wheels for sure but i just think these RH's will look amazing on your car....i saw the pics you had of that SB z with the gunmetal RH's...those rims are def. worth the wait. just order em!!

btw i dont think the bbs rgr's have much of a lip..maybe an inch or so i think.

I'm a firm believer that polished lips save the day when it comes to wheels that match the color of the car. A photochop would be nice for you to make a comparo...
