Default HRE C20 Black or Grey

I have a 96 993 Polar Silver Cab and want to put new 18" HRE C20 wheels on it. I need help deciding which wheels to purchase the black or grey. What are your thoughts. Thanks in advance for the help.

Since you have a gray interior, I vote gray. Depends if you want a "classy" or "aggressive" look. Black would be the latter.

With that said, choose what makes you happy. You will be looking at the car every day!

I dunno... if it was me I'd go with Black. BTW, good choice on the C20.

I'd say black on a light color car, gray on a dark car. But it's really what you like.

Black looks great on a silver car.

Thanks for your opinions guys. The wheels are spendy and I do not want to be unhappy with my purchase.

I've always liked the idea of grey wheels with a grey accented car (like yours and mine), subtle, clean, classic.

I vote for Grey or if not possibly I'd go with Gray instead

I think you can see more detail of the wheels when they aren't black so I'd consider that. The design is nice and would be more apparent with a lighter color than black.

OK, I researched it... I think you need to go with gray, rather than grey. If the wheels were of British origin, then grey would be preferred to gray.

I'm glad that's cleared up.

Go with gray or silver.
C20's, because of their design, have a way of looking smaller than other wheels of the same diameter. Grey and especially black centers will make them look smaller than silver centers.

I like the gray... I'm thinking about sending my center piece to HRE to make them black.
