    Definitely black and not just because that's what I went with. Have an appointment on Saturday to have them installed with ko2s. I opted for the ET lugs. Good luck with your decision.

    My personal opinion is black wheels all look the same. The gunmetal draws the eye and will compliment any color especially black or white. Peeps will actually notice the entire wheel instead of glancing at it cause that's what most people do on all black wheels.

    Personally, if you want the setup to stand out, I think you should consider our matte dark bronze. The black lip version is coming mid June, but we do have the machined lip finish avail. now.

    Buy the color you want if you do anything fun.

    Vinyl and plastidip chips to easily and you will not be excited. Painted does too but a little wear shows you use your tru

    Do yourself a favor and get them online vs looking in parts stores. I looked at 8 stores for a set of black splines and got nothing. Amazon had them.

    If I had black or blue I would no doubt go with the Bronze and Vin's bronze is my favorite. I am flipping back and forth on what I want.

    Thanks guys for all the replies. I'm tore between black and gunmetal still. At the moment don't have any plans of changing step bars, the chrome bumper ends no big deal to paint if have to or get time too. Lol. Gunmetal is different but not sure if will clash with the chrome and silver. Bronze look good they all do, but Don't think is for me.

    On a black vehicle the bronze would be more attractive as it will provide more contrast and accentuate the wheel/tire package.
