To ''Gunmetal'' or not to ''Gunmetal''

Ive been contemplating whether I should have my wheels painted, or not......

My previous wheels, 87's & 215's, have been gunmetal......

What do u guys think:

You guys already know what I'm gonna say ... shouldve stuck with the gunmetal 87s like mister2!

I won't post the pic since eveyone has seen a billion times already!

Otherwise, your car looks great already! Did you change the 168s to hypersilver or sumthin?

I'll weigh in next week when my wheels come in why I chose not to go with black or gunmetal. Instead I went with high gloss transparent pewter.

Here is my car with gunmetal 87's & Gunmetal 215's.

I LOVE GUNMETAL

But, sometimes change is good, especially after 2 sets of gunmetal wheels on the ride............

Still undecided............
