a-spec rims: Sparkling silver or hyper black??

So i've decided to go with the A-spec rims for my TL...but I'm having a hard time deciding if I should go with the Sparkling silver, or the Hyper black chrome rims. I was originally going with the sparkling silver..but i fear that it would be too much silver...as I have an alabaster silver exterior. Should I go with the hyper black chromes so that it will stand out more...or will the sparkling silver rims compliment the car better? Anyone else make this decision before me?

I had an 06 ASM TL and loved the silver wheels when I coated the tires/black. The contrast is great. I now have an 07 ASM TL-S and love the sparkle silver. I like the Hyper black on darker colors. But this is MY OPINION. I like the contrast of the wheel and the tire. I just orderd bright mercury silver 18" Volks! If you don't know, ASM means Alabaster Silver Metalic. When I first came to this site, I didn't know all the abbreviations. Silver IMO

thanks for your opinion....i was leaning more towards the sparkling silver. I hope this question is not too stupid, but what do you mean by coating the tires/black?

Thats sort of a hard decision, sparkle silver might look to light and contrast with the car, the black chrome might give it a nice more exotic look but really not sure what it would look like? I have the black chromes on my NBP and love how they look over sparkle silver, chrome and gunmetal.
