I like gunmetal, but the black does make the car look kind of evil

I had 16" before, bought them new and sold one month after, they just didn't look right, making the sedan look even longer.
Sedans need 17"

thanks, I didn't think of it. Although, where I live black is nonexistant mostly, so I may try out black and if don't like it, paint them again gold.

i voted for gold, but i think a regular silver color would look great on that style of wheel, someone has somthing similar to those rims on their silver coupe on this board and it looks fantastic

But it's played out on HT, and any one else who sees the car will think you lost your hubcaps. Nothing against black(my previous car had black wheels), but the one's who are going to see your car and appreciate it for what it is, is probably on HT, and will agree that black is played out. So still IMO, go with gold.

like what kind of rims? only ones I like on a 4 door is anything with 16 spokes, I've done a lot of research and 16 spokes is what make the car to stand out.
What would you propose? and it has to be 17" or it looks small

kinda hard choise - black or gold
