Poll: Black (Gunmetal) Wheels vs. Silver Wheels

I have noticed more than a few X5s are wearing wheels that are finished in black or gunmetal. I did not like the darker wheels at first because they reminded me of wheels that needed cleaning..... but now they are starting to grow on me.

To finish in a darker color or not? That is the question.

I've seen some very interesting "black" chrome work, done on wheels
lately. It is sort of gunmetal gray, but with a deeper look and doesn't
rely on any flake in the paint or powdercoating, to give the wheel
some depth...I know, I know: I'm looking for pics to put up.

As to "which", it's your ride and none of us know/like your X better
than you!

I want to get my chrome 19's redone because they are chipped on the inside lip.I think the darker color looks great on titanium silver(thats what I have).
