AMG Style IV/SL65 Wheels - which color

Titanium or silver on black? Both look good to me but I can't decide which to get. Help me decide!

I think silver is the only way to go. May be most of you think it is a boring choice but just look at the black MB's with titanium style IV's, there is no contrast. I think titanium would be a nice choice if your car was silver..

Dude, TRUST me go titanium. It adds such a great accent to the car - so much more than plain old silver wheels. Looks stealthy and bad-***, and when those wheels are clean the color is b-e-a-utiful. Do itttt.

TITANIUM and make sure you kill the gap, then it'll look clean.

please take look at a black SL with titanium style IV rims and tell me it looks stunning... It is impossible.
Black car-> silver rims
Silver car-> titanium rims

End of the argument, I don't care what the poll shows right contrast between the parts is the basic truth of beauty. Fashion, cars, buildings it does not matter...
