Default White on silver? Or Black, gunmetal....

I have a silver classic and am looking into alloys, but REALLY not sure between, Gloss black, gun metal or White?

Whats your opinions? I am really into motorsport and want to go along that theme, bubt not sure if black is the new over used white that white was about 5 years agao (if you get me?)

I use to have white alloys on my silver 106 gti, and I dont think it looked too bad.

Some alloys I have been looking:

Its a tough one, I like them all. If pushed I would would pick black or white to suit my motor.

For yours maybe, black or gunmetal.

Thanks slipstream for showing images.

Yea its a tough 1, as eventually I will be looking at graphics/livery to go on,
as part of the motorsport look I like and to advertise my Freelance Graphic Design business.

Will also be looking at mudflaps, possibly blue/red or black.

If I was in your shoes mate I'd go for mat black alloys or gunmetal. Always think that looks spot on especially with a white or silver car like in your case!

FWIW.....

I hate black

I love white, but only on certain cars/colours. White/white or blue/white, even red/white work, silver/white Hmmm, dunno !

Silver always looks Safe and predictable, but classic and stylish.

Gunmetal for me would be the best compromise. A bit darker than silver, but not as dowdy looking as black/anth.
