Personally, I like contrast. Unless its a black or white car, then I could go either way.

I dont think black or gunmetal would compliment that color well. I would do a machine face wheel or something.

I had gunmetal wheels on my burgandy Eagle Talon a few years back, I really liked the look. My vote is for gunmetal.

Only problem is that the black/gray with machined lip look is kinda played out.

Agreed, the full gunmetal or full black is closer to what we are going for, mind you this is for my parents car and they are fifty so not lookin for anything too flashy or too expensive.
