    Well, the time has come for me to paint my summer wheels. I'm going to clean and prep them and once the nice weather is here, i will paint them. I'm indecisive and change my mind more often then my underwear.
    So here are my options. I photoshopped them quickly to get an idea of what each would look like.
    The first picture are the wheels in their current state (gloss black)



    This next picture is with the wheels in FLAT black (well supposed to be)



    This is the one i'm leaning towards---Dark flat grey



    ...and this final idea, Colour-matched silver.




    I'm having trouble deciding....I like them all.....HELP!

    wow i'm surprised with the responses!
    I thought Flat black would stand out a bit more. I noticed when my wheels are dusty or dirty they look good from far away

    Gloss black (current) looks the best on your car IMO.

    I agree with most. Leave them gloss black. Freshen up the paint if you must, but go with the gloss.

    Personally I am a fan of dark wheels, black or gray are both good in my book. However I don't like the polished lip. So many dark wheels have that unpainted lip around the rim. I don't like that. I like an all dark wheel.

    But that's just me... I think they look way more aggressive all dark
