Rays 57CR - Gunmetal or Glossy Black? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

brandonleetran · 04-22-2020, 07:25 AM

Hey guys, having a hard time choosing Gunmetal or Glossy Black Rays 57CR on my Satin White Pearl BRZ.

Could only find ONE photo online with Gunmetal on a SWP BRZ and ZERO photos online with Glossy Black on a SWP BRZ.

What do you guys think? These will be my first set of wheels. Thank you.

I vote for Gunmetal on SWP.

I have gunmetal for winters and glossy black summers, but my car is silver. I like both, but gunmetal is a little more subtle. Black is big contrast.

Gunmetal. Black just gets lost in the shadows.

I've never seen HS Gunmetallic in person, but in pictures you can already tell it's a great color.

Never been a fan of black wheels. They just get lost in the void. Maybe if you could get them in Glass Black (GLASS not gloss), which has a metallic flake

Actually I don’t. Did you go on tire rack and put the similar colored wheels on the car and look. That’s like 90% of what it will look like.

Gold looks good... but that's just me. fyi that's not my car

beltax90 · 04-25-2020, 06:43 AM

glossy gunmetal

Gunmetal.

(personal opinion) but gloss black wheels are just gross. They lack any sort of character or style; and unless the sun is directly on them, you can't even see what they are.

soundman98 · 04-25-2020, 06:10 PM

white wheels on a white car would look nice as well.

i'm just so tired of senseless murdering-out of cars. we've got enough violence in the world.
