Black car pics with new wheels

I've searched on here for a thread of black car pics with new wheels & can't find one. I'm having a hard time picking a wheel color for my black E90! So can anybody help me out? I've went from matt black to hyper to dark gunmetal,etc..... Thanks

On a black car, I personally like silver or gunmetal, but obviously other finishes can look great as well.

Here are examples of our Hyper Silver, Matte Black, and Gunmetal wheels on black cars.







You could of course get a custom powder coat finish as well to help differentiate yourself from others. Endless possibilities could work!

Hyper Black is one of my personal favorites for finishes we offer. Looks so awesome on black cars.

Beautiful car Patrick! That's what I'm trying to choose from the hyperblack & the gunmetal, I've also seen a dark gunmetal I believe in another brand!

Would love to see them in person, I know it would be easier to choose! They all look different in pics, I guess because of angles & the brightness outside!

Gunmetal or silver on a black car. The think the whole "blacked out" look is kinda played out a bit now. Give it some contrast...

Hypersilver is the best color for rims on a black car IMO.

Silver...Nice contrast...plus, if you have chrome trim and grills black wheels look out of place IMO
