In my opinion I'd go with the black ones simply because it would match your theme. Either way you are going to have to paint your calipers or get a BBK because they will show more with the openings in between the spokes than your VI's do. Good luck with your purchase!

Zeek we have the same color car and I actually have gun metal rims on mine. They give off a nice color transistion from black to metailc grey up close. And from afar they give off a decent shine that's not a overbearing like some chrome rims.

I think the black rims will probably look the best - but I'm not a fan of black wheels with silver/chrome rivets. Makes it look like dubs on an SUV
