Whoever said it was right....

Gunmetal makes the car look dull like primer. Don't get it, I can barely tell if my car is painted Silverstone.

Should have went with gold or black.



Dull like a rusted battle ship.

This setup should close the book on this debate. Gunmetal is the way to go with silverstone.

SILVER.... Black looks like pooo, and gunmetal is too much grey color, and they don't match. TACKY as crap IMO. I would go stright silver. It brightens the car.

Yeah,I definitely agree. Gunmetal on silverstone is "TACKY as crap". I will never buy gunmetal again, don't know what the hell I was thinking.

I might trade my SF-Challenges in for silver Axis wheels. IMHO Axis wheels are alot stronger than Volks.

I've been reading all these stories about Volks cracking.

i think gunmetal complements ss very nicely, but that's just me. zephr, your z is hot; don't see why you don't like it, but to each his own.
imo, silver/chrome=bling
black=hardcore
gunmetal=complementary
gold/bronze=contrast and can look good if done in the right shade.

Thanks Z Boy.

Personally, i think Gunmetal on SS is freakin hawt! I hate to say it but thats the only color that goes with SS. Black looks ok but I cant put on my finger on it just doesnt compliment SS well. Silver is terrible on SS, too bright for SS.

yours looks more like a chrome or polished look then a silver. look at the axis hiro picture. those are silver. chrome or polish looks fine on most all cars no matter what color.

Mgl,

Your Z is hot!
And I do agree with Nexx....that brushed rim with a polished lip looks awesome on most colored cars.
