What color VB3 to get?

I am looking to purchase a set of VMR VB3 wheels and am trying to decide what color to get on my LCI E90 in Alpine White.

I am looking at Silver, Hyper Black or Gunmetal. I have never been a fan of black wheels, so that is not even an option I wold consider.

Thanks,

Thanks....hardest part about making the decision is what the long term look will be and if it is too trendy.

Only choosing from the standard colors. Not wanting something custom....maybe in a few years if I need to refinish them I will look at a color like gold.

Silver would be my vote as it does maintain more of a classic look!

I would go hyper black or gunmetal, I think the dark wheels on a white car looks awesome.

Thanks,

I'm probably in the minority on this forum; but like you, not a fan of black wheels. I think the Silver would make an AW car pop.

Silver is always a clean look, I am not a huge fan of Gunmetal as I always think it looks dirty.

I like hyper blacks, but only on black cars, for white I'd get silver.
