Default Best Color volks on Silverstone?

I'm planning on getting LE37 or SF Challenges and need help choosing a color? Gloss black? Gunmetal? Diamond black? Mercury Silver?

What color rims look best on SS?

gloss black or diamond black (not sure which is nicer...don't know much about volks specifically) all the way...black wheels look best on every Z IMO...the contrast will look great...the "un-contrast" looks great on mine, but every other Z looks great with black rims

Either Black or gunmetal....


The brighter silvers look great on other cars, but your eyes get drawn to them, drowning out the darker hue of grey on your silverstone. Gives your car that primer effect.

Black- makes the stone look darker.

Gunmetal- makes the stone look more metallic.



You choose.

No gunmetal.

Black or SBC would look best.

RMC (RAYS Metal Coat) is the way to go.

Definately no gunmetal or bronze.

Gunmetal w/ the silver color would look way too dull. Brone on Silver would look sorta tacky.

yea im definitely going either LE37 or SF Challenges. Its just I haven't picked a color. Im worried that gunmetal might look to dull and won't stand out, where as black might look tacky and be too black on Silverstone.

Then get Diamond Black.

Diamond Black is not like gloss black where it's a flat dark black. Diamond black contrasts a very nice charcoal color against light and is not pitch dark black like gloss black. Black would not look tacky whatsoever. Good luck.
