Default Silver cars,what colour wheels

What color wheels are you running, in the silver subarus. I have newage wheels on my classic and they are sort of gunmetal silver.
Thinking of doing them gloss black to break colour up, all silver too much in my opion.
Any photos of silver cars with different colour wheels,that might change me from thinking gloss black.

Don't go gloss, go matt or anthrite or gun metal, gloss will look tacky imo

Satin black or gun metal grey coupled with black crystal light pack, looks great.

I dont get black or grey wheels. They just look dirty IMO. The GB270 estate is a nice car ruined by it wheels.

I think I'm more inclined to go for a glossy colour which will polish up well, though Satin does look sexy

White wheels look smart on a silver car.

I think black wheels have been done to death now. Ive started to like silver wheels. Silver wheels on a silver car give it a nice clean look!!!!

I agree. Silver looks better on normal cars (Imprezas included) as it doesnt look like the owner is trying to hard. Super cars and other exotica can pull it off though. Less is often more.

Had standard silver on mine then changed to gunmetal, which suits it a lot better, just dont go too dark or you tend to lose all the detail and it looks like the car is rolling round on ***** of darkness, you may aswell have steel rims painted black for the amount of the wheel you can actually see. Unless you have big shiney new brakes behind them of course

We all went through the sticker phase!! Gold on Silver cars looks good because everyone else is going for dark grey / black. I'm sure these things go round in cycles and in a few years everyone will be back to gold.

My old car (**** poor photo as it was inside my work on a wet winters day after fitting the wheels and FMIC):
