Neither, but if i had to choose, I would get gunmetal...You can also look into getting some super black coating by VOLK or Rays Engineering. Better yet, IMO the Racing Hart CP-Ftune is a good looking black.

I do agree with the cost of the VOLKS, but thats just my opinion bro. I have a black Z, So if i put black on black wheels In My Opinion, It would look cheap. But if I had a white car like yours, I would go gunmetal. But its on your discrecion and your taste. I wouldn't ever tell anyone what to spend their hard earned $$$ you know! Just go with what you like!

I have the same problem, but w/ a Silverstone Z. What color LE37 would look good, black w/ chrome lip or gunmetal w/ chrome lip?

for a mesh style wheel, i think silver would look best, but gunmetal would be my 2nd choice.

I like the gunmetal better too but you should see from the photos above that gunmetal doesn't really look black in the sunlight. It looks like a darkish grey.

Would gunmetal on a SS Z be too little contrast? Where black would stand out more. I'm kinda of worried about going black because I've seen both really sick SS w/ black rims and not so pretty SS w/ black. But w/ gunmetal the rims dont stand out as much and are almost the same color as the car...

I'm all confused, cant choose...
