Default Choosing colour of my rims...

Hi, I've bought a set of 16" rims and I'm not sure in which colour paint them. My car is black and rims are like these..



Can you show me different options to paint rims?? Leave here your opinión please...

Thanks.

i agree, standard ish silver for me too, i don't think many colours (black, grey) suit black cars that well and i generally think white wheels look gash on anything other than imperial blue or white rally slags.

Rob,

I agree with silver on a black car.

Gunmetal can look good though.
