Which color wheels do you like better? (Odd color X5, please vote!)

*Didn't realize I was in the wrong forum before*

I'm picking a 2009 X5 xDrive48i this weekend. It is the Mineral Green color with Tobacco leather interior. It does not have the Sports Package and I'm immediately looking to upgrade the stock 18" wheels.

Which color do you like better given the odd color of my X5? (Picture below is not mine since I don't have it yet)

Light colors should stick with bright rims IMO. My new wheels came in a gunmetal and I hated it against my white. I dipped it in "bright aluminum" plastidip and now it looks like the stock color. So my pick is stock aluminum color. I don't think I'd like the mineral green with bronze combo either way.

I think you could pull off the gunmetal but my pick would be hyper silver. Never been a fan of bronze personally.

I think the bronze would look good with the green color if the whole vehicle was that color (instead of a mix of green, black, aluminum) - introducing another wouldn't be my choice. I'd do the graphite or stick with a bright silver. .02!

I maybe new here ..but from a designer point of view... I think you can pull off the bronze with your car's color!

Colors

Personally, the Green/Gold combo reminds me of the 1998 Ford Windstar Northwoods Edition. Stick with the graphite or silver....I went with charcoal 214's on my platinum bronze and I think it makes it look less dated.
