Arctic Silver Peeps!

Here's a question/ picture thread for you all knowing and wise owners. First off, Arctic Silver... How rare is the color? I understand it was only available on S4's. Reason being, I love the color....but...from what I have noticed it definitely limits my wheel color choices.

This brings us to the second and more enjoyable part of the thread. Please post pictures along with opinions of Arctic Silver FC's with your favorite or personal wheel choice and colors for comparison.

Photoshops are welcome as long as it's done well

(I realize there is an Arctic Silver thread, however, not much helpful content in it.)

Thanks!

Nice. I noticed that Arctic silver goes well with a machined or silver/chrome wheel, but it is a little too flashy for my tastes. Anyone else?

On topic both the darker, gun metal, anthracite etc look good against the silver. As you can see so does the bronze, silver is okay but I think the contrasting darker colours are better

lolol. My car looks exactly like yours minus the diffuser and my rims are the gunmetal version.

My only problem with darker colored wheels is they kinda blend in unless the car is a highly contrasting color.

What about bright colors? Greens, blues, etc? (out of curiosity :p)

Looks pretty decent, not exactly my cup of tea. However, they do set the car off well.

I am arctic silver! Eventually I am repainting white, though. This is when I fabricated my headlight set-up for my FC2000 bumper.

^very nice!

Here's an updated picture of mine (sorry for the garbage quality) after the s5 conversion and new aero. Still sitting on polished Crown Vic's, but I'll be taking some better pictures within the next week.
