Grey look mean, silver look classy so it depends on the look you prefer mate?! Either way I don't think you can lose though Fella, they both look

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Got to keep silver mate, tooooooooooo many dark wheels around, they look baaaaad!

If you do go dark, dont get black FFS, they look terrible!

Your car is stunning with silver wheels IMO!

Think you should stick with silver as it does look very classy. You car is IMO the best looking saff around so would think very hard before changing it

Go for Anthracite, iv'e had the last 2 sets of wheels on my 3dr painted anthracite & really like them (my cars also black), also you can get away without cleaning them as much as they don't show the brake dust as much as a silver wheel.

The dark grey looks hard as nails Tony but as lamb chops said in his post your saff is the best looking one around and id be tempted to leave them silver.

You could always go silver on one side and grey on the other
