Default Volk GT-C: Mercury Silver or Spark Silver?

I'm looking into purchasing a set of Volk GT-Cs; the only question remaining for me is what finish to choose.

It seems that the majority of GT-C owners here have opted for the Mercury Silver. However, I'm concerned that this option may be too dark; I would like to stay away from gunmetal at all costs.

If this is the case, would Spark Silver be preferable? I'd like to aim for a bright and/or polished look, if possible.

Any thoughts are welcome!

mercury silver is no where near gunmetal, mercury silver is like the normal silver found on most rims, spark silver is ugly...its a whitish silver, dont like it at all.

I just finally got my GT-C's (3 month wait) in Gunmetal today. The gunmetal is not that dark. But it also depends on the color of your car, mine is Sunset LeMans.

Perfect! That explains it better.

Mine is a Super Black. I would be interested in seeing your pic, though (it's not currently working).

Thanks guys.

let's try this again....The wheels are not yet on the car as I just got them today and I am trying to figure out how to mount the tire pressure sensors to them.

Those look really good, BZNYA.

I think the polished look still suits my tastes better, however.

Good luck on mounting the sensors. You may find some help in this thread.

Look like he's ordering gunmetal TE-37s.

I'm looking at the GT-Cs as well TE37s, both in a gold color.
