Silver or black...gunmetal will blend in way too much and not provide enough contrast IMO

Silver gets my vote, it will give some contrast and work well on any car. Gunmetal only if you have that theme on the car and it's aggressively modified.

Gunmetal wins this battle hands down, it's a good contrast between the two, and it's not exactly the same color (the wheels compared to SGM). I have a few pictures, but unfortunately they're all on CSL wheels. Good thing is though, the color code is exactly the same between the two, so you'll be set if you like the color contrast:

definitely silver! It'll become gunmetal after awhile from the brake dust anyway!
