I can agree the silver aren't a match, but the black is awful. I would consider gold perhaps....

I agree with the above statements. The black just does not seem to flow with the cream. I don't know if gold would be much better.


Maybe try matching the body color.

Silver is the only way to go....I don't like different colored wheels.....silver always looks good.

Black is bad unless it has a polished rim.

Silver normally looks best..... except with the beige.... I would try gold or maybe a darker bronze color.

I like the silver better myself. They stand out much more. Go with your gut, it's a (as in your own) personal choice. Normally my first reaction is the one I've come to trust.

I like the black but ONLY if you tint the car & black all the lights out. Have to get more black goin' so it won't clash, looks good none the less....

Personally (since you asked) I like the original pix.....with them black, it looks like you're trying too hard.
