I can't seem to decide which color would look better on my silver (G1U) BRZ.

Black

never been a fan of black wheels on a silver car or dark wheels in general

you planning on adding any exterior stuff? Lips/spoilers/sideskirts/headlight black out etc?

I don't plan on blacking out any lights and I doubt I'll put on a body kit.

Damn, it's a tough one. I would have said black on other colors but with your car being silver I'm not too sure.

The only problem I have with black, is it makes the rim 'disappear' if you know what I mean. I think gunmetal would look pretty good on a silver car.

gunmetal

yomny · 02-16-2015, 03:40 PM

Without looking, gunmetal for your color car. Its just my personal opinion but black wheels look good mostly on white cars.

PS- i looked, and it is a tough one lol.. still gunmetal.

Gunmetal ? It is hard with silver. I have black on white with my car.

Silver with black just sound like........ U should have an image in ur head by now.

I owned black wheels for a while, but they do "disappear" from a distance..and at night. It ends up looking like you just have spare tires on your car. lol.
I'd go with Gunmetal. You can appreciate the wheel design at any time of day.

Without a doubt, gunmetal. Look at how the light shines off of it for starters. Will help a lot, people have voiced similar sentiments about how black wheels 'disappear' in certain conditions

Are those not the 17" wheels that come on the Series.Blue?
