Agree with you on this. The factory color is a bright silver. I felt that in today's offering of rims the bright silver is out of place so I elected to go with a Hyper shadow silver (pearl like effect in the paint) that looks more modern and still contrasts against the paint of the vehicle. It was one of the best physical changes that I made on the vehicle. As always something like this is subjective so its just a matter of what you like.
