Need HELP picking a rim color!! 56k warning
Initially I wanted to get gunmetal (ordered today, won't get them until the end of May or first week of June). I can get the silver finish in another day or two if I want. Not sure how gunmetal would look on a silverstone car so I did a preliminary photochop. The photochop sux, but I'm not sure now in gunmetal looks good on silverstone. What do you guys think?

I know most of you guys LOVE gunmetal on silverstone, but this is NOT THE TYPICAL gunmetal finish...it's ALOT darker imo.

^ I ordered Gunmetal. They should arrive in a few weeks hopefully. sux that gunmetal is backordered... Anyways, since the gunmetal is in high demand, my vendor mentioned that if I can change my mind at the last minute. But I'm gonna go for the gunmetal at this point. After I get them I'll then evaluate how they actually look on the car. If I'm not happy, I'll have no problem trading them in for the silver polish.
