What rim finishes looks good on a black 43

Ordered a set of VFF107 from Vorsteinner , they said I can chose a custom finish a week before the wheels get delivered. What finish looks good on a black car, not really digging the carbon graphite, not sure if matt black is too much for a black on black car. How about platinum gunmetal or bronze

VFF107 only comes in one color for our car. Carbon Graphite. Me personally I want my rims to pop more. So I had them refinished in machined silver. But that is just me cause I am not a fan of the blacked our look. Golden would do the same thing for you as well. But if will clash with the silver trim of your car if you do not have the night package. But the main thing about VFF107 is that they are on a back order.

A very subjective question at the end of the day.

Bronze would look pretty slick, albeit loud.

As much as black on black is "played out" it still looks amazing (IMO). I would go satin not matte though

And the machined faces would look super classy on black (how munis did his). I also ran machined faces on a hyper silver base. The chrome handles and bits that I didn't want to bother with wrapping, etc. ended up looking really nice.

I've seen Bronze on black and it looks really, really good in my opinion- stands out nicely but is also sublte, for an eye popper the Lolipop Red on a black car adds a really nice Supercar style pop. My car has black with factory black rims which is ok- but I would put a tinted machined silver color if I were to buy new rims- make them stand out more.
