How many like gunmetal?

Just wondering how many people prefer the blackish gunmetal color on their wheels over say the stock aluminum brush. I'm satisfied with the stock. when did gunmetal become so popular anyway?

Gunmetal Rims

With few exceptions, I have always liked dark rims on light cars & light rims on dark cars. Just personal opinion

same here. i just thinks it looks better in my opinion. but i think you should have gone for black rims on your yellow p5, it would have complimented the black linings on your car

Dark rims look bitchin on dark cars. Very stealthy. They look good on light cars too. Gunmetal rims are great!

my car is silver, and with the silver rims,.. well it looks boring. the gunmetal rims add contrast to the wheelwell. The blue P5 posted above... the Volk rims would look good on my car!

That's my car w/ the volks. They look great, but cost a freakin' mint! If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have spent that much.
