I am very torn. My current look is OEM.... I have been debating a gloss black as seen in the photo to match my paint.

just sell me your wheel if you are going to paint them black...

so my answer is no... keep it silver... somehow black makes wheel look small

Love black wheels, but not on black cars. Voted leave as it is now, but really, I think a darker gray would look good IMO

Dude, you have the exact taste i have.... Not to mention confusion... I cant decide. What i did find was a photo of a guy who painted his 166's a dark gun metal gray and his wheels on his all black car looked sick. He had his calipers painted red and cross/drilled rotors.. I would go with dark gray....
