Going Gunmetal

I'm thinking of going with a gunmetal (dark gray) wheels and grill. I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts before I do it.

I was going to spray my grill gunmetal, sell my Lorinser wheels, and spray a set of AMG monoblocks gunmetal. How would this look?

I think Gunmetal would be a good look on a silver car... are you planning on painting the monoblocks or the aftermarket ones you have in your photo?

I was going to paint the monoblocks and sell the Lorinser that I have on now.

I had black wheels on my silver CLK and bronze wheels on my silver WRX. I'm hoping the gunmetal would look good with silver.

Scotty, I think your 5 spoke CLS wheels would look great blacked out. Or are you going aftermarket?

Here's another member (auktane) with similar in his sig pic.

It will have to depend on the gunmetal color. Mine start to look a gunmetal color a few days after a wash. Well not anymore since I got Akebonos, but either way you don't want clean rims to looks dirty or dusty
