Purchase Question: Silver A-Spec Wheels or Gunmetal A-Spec Wheels on WDP

I'm on the fence, and I need your inputs

I might be able to get some A-Specs already painted in Silver

Do you guys think this silver-painted would have the bad-ass effect that A-Spec rims typically have?

Or think I should wait out for Gunmetal for a 3G TL WDP?

yay?
or

nay?

You could always get the silver ones now and get them powdercoated gunmetal down the road so you don't have to wait

Hmmm... I like the A-spec wheels. If giving the choice, I would probably go with silver. However, I know they weigh more than the stockies, and I'm all about keeping that unsprung weight down (direct result of my Miata years). I know this is going to sound silly, but stick with stockies.

Seriously tho, if you can pick up A-spec wheels for 50% off retail, then even I would be inclined to pick some up just to change things around every so often. Silver or gunmetal, it's really up to personal preference.
