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.

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

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....

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.
