Espresso for sure, I think black rims on a white car look killer tho, so maybe I'm biased 
If it were a black car, though, then definitely the titanium. Just about any of the 360 rims will look awesome on this car, actually!

The titanium will take on a darker look most of the time from brake dust buil-up while the darker finish will stay dark for the most part. Titanium is too common...the darker ones look very unique. Either way though they both look hot.

YO! Jordan! Can we get a profile shot of yer car? thanks bro.
** please read**
f.y.i. When Jordan was selling his carlsson front lip, i made him an offer and he took it. When he found out he couldnt get out of his lease favorably, he decided to keep his car. he could have easily backed out of our deal.
BUT like a man of his word, he honored the deal we made and sent me a BRAND NEW Carlsson front lip for the agreed price (not a used one), and he picked up on the shipping too. I wanted to tell this story much sooner but didnt. This is what you get when you deal with someone who really cares about his business, his reputation and his customers.
Jordan Hurry up bro i want to see that side shot of the espresso.

This is soooo true. I keep on saying that the titanium will dirty up much faster, the espresso will just look darker. I know i know, i clean my car at least once a week at the dealer's car wash, but lately the damn machine isnt cleaning so well. I currently have 2 sets of wheels already the stock ones that came with my car a split spoke with bolts around, and i got a set of tsw chromes ones (same wheel just chrome), and i changed my door pins. I have 2 sets of grills for my car one white one black. I change it every now and then. I think that ill never finish with my car, its a ever evolving/transforming project.

Thanks guys,
20 by 9 front , 20 by 11 rear. 360 forged capuccino/espresso color. Ride got harder but well worth the looks. The guys at the dealership loved the wheels and the rears didnt need any weights for balancing. just waiting to get an alignment.

Yeah, i had 19 x 8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels before on falkens, i now have larger and wider wheels, and larger width / smaller sidewall tires too. I actually bought 4 new wheels prior to this. so i have like 2 other sets of wheels in the garage, one set with a broken wheel on the inner bead. one set brand new chrome TSW's.
attached is the pic of my other sets of wheels The hyper silvers which one cracked, the chrome tsw's i bought in december. i also had my white grills in. I put my black grills in right now. I found that the carlsson lip seems to lose it's look with the white grills in.
