I know my opinion is different from most here regarding wheel color, but I don't like dark wheels on a dark colored car. Dark wheels look great on AW and silver cars. But, I'm colorblind so take my vote for what it's worth.

I like the Hypersilver finishes because they create a sense/perception of depth. The grayish finishes almost look like you didn't clean the brake dust from the wheels. And on a dark color car I like to see some contrast provided by the silver painted finish but not the glitter of chrome.

My vote just tipped the scale from a three way tie of 6 votes each! For whatever my vote is worth 
I voted for dark gun metal (aka brake dust grey)...however, not on that style of rim. Are you getting your rims powder coated, or are you buying new ones?
