VMR VB3 CSL Matte Black Wheels or Gunmetal for my AW E92?

I just can't decide. I really like how the gunmetal looks and can seem toi change color. Up to this point I have been hell bent on getting the matte black, but as I get closer to pulling the trigger, I'm starting to lean towards the gunmetal. Any advice?

This is my car as of now by the way

I personally do like the the Gunmetal as it does give the car a sporty and aggressive look. Here's a picture of my customer and fellow E90post member madmanhiker's E92 LCI 335i with the VMR VB3 CSL 19" wheels in Gunmetal for you to check out!

I went with matte black on my AW because it looks aggressive. Gunmetal will look more subtle. It all depends on your taste.

I think gunmetal looks best with black cars since it creates some contrast. However, I prefer matte black rims with white, silver, and space grey cars.

Gunmetal on Graphite 07 335xi

Here is gunmetal on a graphite 07 335xi. I am stoked on the look. Sorry for the crappy pic, it has snowed a ton since I bought the car and this is a small window where the car was clean for 24 hours.

Are these VMR V703s (VB3s) I'm currently ordering some right now, trying to figure out offset/sizes.

They're drilling me some blank 19x10 ET 35s and I'm hoping they'll fit my '07 335i.
