I'll chime in on this one. To me it depends on the color of the car. Indeed the trend is to go gunmetal or black now a days on everything, however in my opinion they always look dirty and you can make out the design. Silver pops way more when its clean. i have a Vermilion Red 2011 and if i do upgrade from the stock 19s, i will do silver 20s or machined silver. +1 for silver/hyper silver.
