Rota Slipstream- Grey or Gun Metal? (photochopped pics; 56K beware)

So, I am stuck between grey or gunmetal Rota Slipstreams for my FC..

I think I like the gun metal colour more.. I have seen it on a friend's WRX and another's Cavalier (also Rota rims). Just seems weird to have a dark wheel well..heh.

Anyways, here are my photochopped pics..

Current..


Grey..


Gun Metal..

i'd honestly say that you should stick with the black ones.

i have gumetal slipstreams on my fc, but it is gray so the gunmetal almost matches perfectly. I think your car would look bad azz if you stayed with black rims and lowered it.

Just to be an old fart, I'll say that I like the shiny stock wheels best!
