If you want an OPINION I'll give you mine. Go silver with polished lip. I compared both on mine and preferred the silver. But not all silver finishes are the same. So make sure you get a good silver, not a cheap looking silver.

I'm one of those people who really dislikes the look of black wheels on anything short of an LMP protoype like the Bentley or the old Toyota GT One. the darkest color i would personally go for is a gunmetal wheel with polished lip, which looks sharp on the Spa, but if it were my ride I'd go for a brighter color. for black...gunmetal+polished=

My mistake, it is Gun Metal, not black. To me, gun metal ain't much different to black. So thats a 1- silver and 1-gun metal. Decisions decisions. Thanks guys

No offense to any owners of Spa cars with dark wheels but...

you asked for my opinion and it is that dark wheels almost always look bad on yellow cars. they look dirty, and don't appeal to me in the least. but that's just me.

Here is my opinion, if the car is a lighter color car (like white, silver, yellow etc) I would get some lighter color rims (silver) but if the car is dark (like black) then I would go with darker color rims (bronze, black, gunmetal). Again that is just my opinion if I had money for rims =)

Pesonall, I like them both. If you don't do a carbon fiber hood, I would go with silver. If you're thinking about a CF hood, I would consider the gunmetal. Depending on my mood or the car, gunmetal looks like you're rolling on "steelies"
