Default Black on Baclk wheels or contrast?

Hi all,

Im trying to take in opinions on wheels. I have decided on the Forgeline GA3s, but deciding on whether to go with black wheels for my blackTT or something like GunMetal for contrast. All opinions are welcomed. Attached are the actual black wheels and the other wheel is there for the gunmetal reference.

i have these forgelines and they're gunmetal with titanium fastners. the wheels and ps2 tires are essentially new. i'll make you a great deal on them. pm me if you're interested.

^Looks sharp, Parsonii!

Not a huge fan of black cars, with black wheels and black tires (yes, all tires are black). I think there needs to be a bit of contrast.

Yeah some contrast would be better IMO.
Mind you, I wouldn't say no to those wheels.

Guys, thanks for the input. When I first saw those GA3's in black I knew I had to get them, but after further thought, too much of a good thing in this case is too much.

Parsonii - You're wheels look fantastic and thanks for the offer, but I actually changed my order earlier today to a titanium finish on the GA3's + Ti fasteners.

Wish you all the best.

Actually, black wheels will look great on your black tt

But not flat black like the picture you posted

Painted black with polish lips may give you enough of a "contract"
