Silver finish options

Let's play a little game of "what if....."

What if you had an NBP TL, slammed, and had 19" volks WITH POLISHED LIP and you planned on refinishing them, but silver was the only color you wanted.

....Mercury silver or Formula silver?
My only qualm about the formula silver is that it looks too close to gunmetal; I wanted a high contrast of black and bright silver, almost like a hyper silver.

Don't be biased by taking into consideration the model of the wheel, just look at the finish.

Mercury silver:



Formula silver:

I feel like the Mercury will contrast better with NBP.

Based upon your write up (and wanting a good contrast), I'd go with the Mercury's.

Mercury silver for that super clean look...feel like formula silver is gonna come off as just another dark face/polished rim look.

Based on your writeup I would say Mercury.

And like Stepien20 said, even if you don't like it, you know you'll only have to live with them for a week or so.
