Argento Wheel Colour

Hey guys just wondering if you guys have any input on what colour wheels look good on the Argento FRS, I'm having a hard time deciding between hyper black or black. I'm looking for darker colours and not silver wheels, any help would be great

in general, for all cars and all colors, flat black blends too much with the tire and is more dull. Go with a hyper black/gun metal/chromium.

Gun blue would look good on a silver car.

Ive never seen hyper black in person, but is it more silver than dark?

Yes, hyper black is like a very slightly tinted darker silver. It's between silver and gunmetal, more on the silver side.

I agree with the gun blue. at night argento looks more like blue anyway, so in a way it kind of goes together

Is chromium black also just hyper black?

I like my textured gunmetal, but you can't have the same color I trademarked it!
