I kind of like the brushed titanium super just put on his car over the gunmetal. The gunmetal may blend in better with the Palladium though, not sure. I thought it was a little too light on the steel grey. Black wheels can tend to look a little unfinished and although they don't look bad on your car I think I would prefer a lighter color. If the gunmetal is just a slightly darker contrast to the Palladium then it might do the trick. Kind of hard to do dark centres with polished lips on the Forgestar F14. The black do work well with the red calipers but maybe not so well with the rest of the car. Always compromises of some sort to consider.

Maybe if Callmiro has some pics of the painted wheels on his car, that he could post, it would give a great reference point.

Gangsta is for da kids.

my only problem with black wheels is that you can hardly see any details of the rims and its hard to differentiate between the tire/rim (unless you have a polished/anodized/chrome lip).

The advantage is brake dust is invisible

Never been a huge fan of black wheels as you can't see the details. However, they do look nice and the more I look at the pics, they are growing on me.

Hard to say which color I like better. If the trim, badges and the front grille were blacked out, the current setup would look that much better. If you are keeping your trim stock color, Gunmetal would look right at home.

The pictures are great!

Great looking wheels but black gets a bit boring after a while. The darker the wheels the less detail you see. I ordered my Forgestars in brushed last week through Peter as well. Hope he doesn't mess up my order

I actually REALLY like the way they are right now. Gives the car a very stealthy, serious business look.

Ultimately...it's your car, if you had your mind set on a different color, I would just go with them.
