Gunmetals on a black civic?

Hey, any suggestions would be appreciated. I am seriously considering buying the Motegi MR-7s in Gunmetal for my black 4 Door. Gunmetals as apposed to Silvers, any one gone this way with a black car? Also, the FZ4s or Ecsta Supras for tires... (17") whats better for all weather traction that will keep ya safe!?
thanks!

I almost bought a set of 17 inch revo's in gun metal! i think they would have looked sweet! But my wife had to shut down that idea! She wanted some new clothes! I think the car must look pretty agresive in order to have the darker wheels!JMO Dakota

i think gunmetals look nice on black cars, but i've heard some complaints about those Motegi MR7 gunmetal's chipping too easily.

MR-7 is a good looking rim, I almost got them myself if they are not so heavy...

I put GunMetal Tenzo Mean 6's on my black ex' 2dr. I will post pics in a few days. I was going to get graphite, then I thought that would be overkill. I am glad I choose GunMetal.

i like everything on my car to be very clean, and i just think the gunmetal makes the rim look dirty. Just my little "nit-picky" thing. Im going TenzoR AV-7 in silver.
