Which ones do y’all like best? After this more than a year with the black wheels, I find the silver / gray ones a bit classier and they give the car a very different look. I like being able to switch looks.
Sometimes different it good, but I still like the black better... Black wheels don't always do it for me, but with the other black accents and the huge yellow calipers, they look awesome. IMHO of course...

Very cool that you have two sets you can change up with. Personally, I like the black set best. But, hey, ... I'd leave the originals on for a while just for a change of pace.

I will be the contrarian - the original, silver wheels are more classic and look better to me.

I needed to get some more miles on these 2018 tires on the original set anyway...Get my monies worth!!

I've got a brand new set of PS4S's to go on when I wear out a set on the black or orig. wheels.

I definitely still love the black too... Meaner more aggressive look.

I agree but something about the originals are a bit more classy to me...But like said above, Black looks more aggressive.

Thank you! I drove it around this evening just now for several miles to ge the TMPS to read the new wheels. I stopped and looked at it several times. I really like these and love the look of BOTH sets, so it's cool to have them to swap out.

The yellow caliper behind the black wheel is slick - I think the contrasts are nicer.

I should have said more than one word earlier...

I totally knew what you meant!! Sometimes less is more... I know your style brother and didn't take offense at all.

I think I do give the edge to the Black set also, but like said above, I needed to wear out these 2018 PS4S's on the original wheels so I can mount my new set to one of the sets of wheels..not sure yet.

My fronts are 2018s as well... the rears, surprisingly, didn't last that long...

I like the black due to the contrast…

Black looks better, brother. Perfect contrast to silver and looks more powerful and aggressive. Silver wheels look best/contrast best on dark cars, IMO. Like you said, silver looks classy, but I'd stick with black if going on a drive or to an event.
Enjoy!!

Personally, I don't like all black wheels on anything. I feel like the wheel gets lost. With no contrast between the wheel and tire, it just looks like a black hole in the wheel well. Not only do the wheels as a whole get lost, but so do the details of the wheel. I know there have been several comments about liking the contrast of black against the body color, but I prefer to have contrast between the wheel and tire. I think it makes the both the wheel and tire "pop" more. Also having contrast between painted and machined surfaces make the details of the wheel itself "pop".

I like them both - but actually prefer the black set. I like black wheels on silver and the center caps standout..

I would run silver rims on the driver's side and black rims on the passenger side (or vice versa)... best of both worlds all the time!
