Default Gunmetal volk challanges on silverstone ?

anybody has gunmetal volk challanges ( 19 inch ) on a silverstone z ? I wonder how it looks , if anybody has pictures , i appreciate it . Do you guys think it can look really dark on silverstone ? I saw a picture of mercury silver and it looks great too but since i like the gunmetal more than silver , i wanna go with gunmetal but no idea how it can look on the car , thanks

Most gunmetal's are too dark for Silver Stone, however, Volk gunmetal is almost perfect (except on the winning).

nope.. I'm at stock height. I thought of doing a drop, but now that the wheels are on, I am happy with the results and don't really feel like I need to.

Here's a shot that gives a better idea of my height on stock springs:

mine are track tested. My buddy who was teh previous owner of them took them to the track quite a few times. One was a technical track with lots of thight turns and the other was more of a high-speed track and they are fine.
