Default Carbon Silver Z: What rim color?



I am having the hardest time finding the right color for my Carbon Silver Z, I have a urge to hit up some black rims, but I am not sure if the color will flow well. Any idea's? Or pictures

I would say gunmetal/hyper-black would flow the best. Matching the paint color of the Z as close as possible.

im having a similar problem.

i have a SS Z and im looking for a 5 spoke wheel (like the NIsmos) in a grey color. The only thing iv'e seen that fit these requirements are the P45R Gray wheels. Most of the gunmetal colors are much darker than SS. Im trying to look for a color match as close as possible, WITH the 5 spokes. Im pretty close to getting the P45R but any other suggestions would be great. all the wheels i went through arent the 5 spokes, or the color is way off. $2000 for wheels is also not an option for me

here are the wheels im thinking about (P45F)
