I haven't been on this forum in awhile so this might've been already covered. But I'm trying to decide between the Gunmetal or Mercury Silver Volk SF-Challenge on Silverstone. I just photochopped them to compare (the wheels were originally gold from another pic.. and heck, tinted the windows while I was at it) Any thoughts or opinions? Thanks

 

I was having the same problem deciding between those two. I went with the silver and absolutely love them. If you go with the silver you will find that the spokes are a bit darker looking than you may have anticipated and look a little like the gunmetal. It contrasts nicely with the polished lip.

Of course all that matters is what you like. So just make a decision and know that you really cant go wrong either way.

 

I have a Silverstone and after alot of shades/color research I've noticed:

The lighter silver centered wheels will make the SS look a tad bit lighter and brilliant like CS. Makes the car a little more shiny and flashy but sometimes it will make the car look grey. On sunny days it's beautiful!

The darker gunmetal centers bring out the deeper and metallic tone in the paint. This gives the car a more darker machine glow since your eyes are forcing the shades to balance. The car looks absolutely gorgeous on cloudy days or towards the afternoon/ night time.

To sum it up: The mercury will look classy and clean while the gunmetal will look meaner and sportier.

You can't go wrong with both options...they'll both look nice. Just depends on the look you're going for.


Just my observations.

 

i went with gunmetal should be here mid sept, i wanted a dark look, check this out https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ht=SFChallenge

look sweet

 

I just put gunmetal GT-C's on my Silverstone and it looks awesome.

 

my vote GM

 

I say gunmetal, I have the same delema. I want something darker than the car. I don't like cars that have the rim color match the car color. Looks to plain.

 

I think the silver look better, however the gunmetal can get dirty and not be as easily noticed.

 

GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Confucius says: "Mercury Silver + brake dust = Gunmetal"

 

Man...that's a tought decision. Both are gorgeous colors. However, isn't the Mercury silver a limited edition color? I'd maybe lean towards that for that reason. More exclusive...

 

Both look good but I'd go with silver.
either way can't go wrong.

Good luck !

 

i think the merc silver looks better.. go with that

 

Hey All, thanks for your feedback. I ended up ordering the Mercury Silver from 350zonlinestore. Great prices and service! I'll post pix when I get them on in a couple weeks.
