It’s your car, so do what brings you joy, BUT….those wheels looks great and I think silver will set it off nicely. Black wheels to me are sad, because you lose so much of the detail of the wheel in the dark void that it becomes. I’m about 99% anti-black wheels. Every now and again I think they’re appropriate.

I say keep it silver at first since it already is silver. Then in a few years if you get sick of it, easy to make it black.

Wheels need to be silver or a translucent smoke color tinwork with that blue. Black ones will cheapwn the overall look and for blue to work, will have to be exactly the same color as the car

Well I do have my black CCWs I can throw on when I’m feeling black I guess. Motor sports style 🤓

This ^^^^^^

Also - I personally THINK that silver wheels on coloured cars looks better - red, yellow, green and blue - all get brightened up by silver wheels... and it allows for all of the details to show!

This looks great, splendid colour combo!

Are you doing the center console and few small pieces in OB as well to match or seat belts ?

Now OB is 3 of 3 - 997 in that colour I have seen... uber rare!
