White C230- black or silver MRR GT-1?

In case you don't know what the MRR GT-1 looks like- http://www.wheelautohaus.com/page.ph...&make=MRR&ct=b

Wish they were offered in gunmetal, but they're not. I guess I will wait till I wear the first set of tires out then have them coated.

Silver or Black?

Silver looks a little more classy but the black adds a certain "tuner" look to the car that I kinda like also. The car is lowered, CL style grille, flat hood emblem, and clear side markers. It will have tinted windows shortly.

Black...

It provides a look that I like. Especially on white cars.

BLIGGITY BLACK, YA'LL! i hate chrome! but im sure most of you know that. silver would look cool as well, but the contrast thrown by the black looks way more aggressive

no matter what color I get- they will eventually end up powdercoated gunmetal. either after i go through my first set of tires or they get curbed (heaven forbid). i wanted a set of hyper black or gunmetal of the wheels in the group buy- but who knows when anything will actually happen with that- these are about the closest thing to those that are available right now.

even if i do end up with black- at least then there will only be two of us. unlike the countless monoblock V, VI, etc....

A wise man once said "The blacker the berry- the sweeter the juice"

+10 points if you name the movie/man who said it.

You may get 15 points for that one if someone can confirm. I was thinking of Ice Cube/Chris Rock in Friday.

Chris Rock: "You know what they say- the older the berry, the sweeter the juice.

Ice Cube: "I thought it was: the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice"

Chris Rock: "Oh, well, she was blacker than a motha f_cka too"

i am thinking of going against the grain on this one. mrr has a gallery of all of there wheels on different cars. there is a white 3series bmw that has the black and another car that has the silver- same angles on the pictures- oddly enough i think i might like the silver more.
