I would of said go for a lighter gun metal, but that works pretty well, i think the pin stripe was sorely needed to highlight the wheels.

I know what you mean. I am pleased with them but will be adding a pinstripe as a test (this weekend hopefully). I think in general black works best on a simple wheel such as the LMGT4s, Volks, etc.
Here's another quick and dirty snap from my old point and shoot camera. One day I'll have all 4 wheels on the car, it will be clean, and the weather will be good!
Those wheels really suit that colour. Looks good

I know just how you feel Paul, i can't decide between Silver,Black or Gunmetal wheels for my 350. As for your car Black looks good but i think Gunmetal would look pretty smart, its dark like the black but still has that bit of sparkle there aswell to show off those great wheels.

Oh, we do that all the time, that is quite normal round here=, anyway I think you will find Pete started it up again and everyone else followed 
so what colour is your car.

I'd go Gunmetal on your colour. It will make the car look lower and smarter too IMO. Where's Bullet, he could photo shop it?

Yeah i was thinking Gunmetal, i thought it might break up the silver a bit too.

A nice dark gunmetal mate - that would look uber cool
I would have done the same myself but the black decals on the car meant that black was the obvious choice. I have to say, I am really pleased I went with a semi-gloss finish rather than matt or gloss. Also, the pinstripe really finishes it off.
After all the heartache I'm 100% happy with my choice

Actually, i believe a lighter gunmetal would suit it more so, otherwise they look a bit out of places on a bright metallic, unlike the yellow.

Thanks for your suggestions guys,much appreciated going to get a quote tomorrow for some new wheels of various designs and see what deal i can get. I do like the finished look of your wheels though Paul,i agree the pinstripe in yellow does just add that finishing touch.
