I would say silver, I was going to paint my wheels too because they are pretty effed up, and it was down to silver because anthracite was a tad too dark

I used to have tsx 5 spoke silverstar wheels(gunmetal) on my car. I didn't like them. I thought it would look good on am. but i was wrong.
sorry, i didn't even think about taking pictures. They were not suitable on am. If you have gunmetal face w/polished lip, that would be look good. That's just my opinion.

Yes, def. But I would only lightly tint the top of the tail lights, and to be honest I'd leave the fronts alone apart from ditching the orange diffuser

Once I find someone that wants to swap wheels I was gonna paint them a hot neon pink color, cuz it'll look good on a SSM car and stand out. Also have an idea for waterproof LED strips with this idea too. Hopefully I can find someone that wants my TL-S rims so I can do this! lol
