If you are having a tough time deciding on a color leave it. I think it looks incredible. I did the dark rim thing for a few months. Got sick of having a "gangsters" car and went back to classy silver.

CV3's and CV5's are two of my favorite rims because of the silver polished color option... They can make just about any car look amazing in that color.. I personally wouldn't change the color of these rims unless they were in need of serious repairs/refinishing & needed to be painted regardless. otherwise with the money that would be spent on a quality powdercoat job, i'd fork over a few hundred more & get a whole different set of new rims. i'm eyeing a couple some Rohana's to pick up soon ..so many I want . RC10, RC7, RC26, RC20 ..wish I could have them all

It's your car. If you want to change them then do it. I like the grey color they used on the s65's. Looks great with B Silver.

Silver and as mentioned the gunmetal that the 65 wheels have are the best IMO
