Here you go. The good side photo of the 215 blacks that I found was on an all white background, so I had to fill them in. You don't get an essence of the shine through of the brakes from this rendition. Mostly what you can get from this photo is the shape and the 'darker feeling' than the other photo. They don't look too bad in this photo.

I couldn't find a good full-on side view of a more true-to-life black 215 to use. I've included two off-angle ones here to look at. You can see that the colors look TOTALLY different. These are both listed as black 215s. I don't think that the ones on the red car are Ferric Grey because the same lister is selling some FG ones also and they're definitely lighter. But who knows -- perhaps they got them both wrong.

It seems that most of the images that I could find were cut-outs of BMWs nicely photoshopped photos. I was able to find one real image each of the black, ferric grey, and sliver 215s. Black and FG in boxes, and silver in the sunlight.

From these photos, and my real PG car, it looks like the Black and FG are iffy; I would choose FG over the black. The silver definitely wouldn't clash, but if you're going to understated, silver isn't it.

I think that if you are considering getting black or FG, you would really have to see it up next to the car before making the decision.

BTW: I think that whatever is on the red car would look pretty stylin' on a PG car. However, who knows what's Actually on that car, and if it's a picture of a wheel/car that exists outside of cyberspace.
