I am getting some 18" rims for the Celi. What do you guys think, Gun Metal or Silver. I have a silver GT-S, I think that G.M. would look hot on the car, bit silver is hot also. What do you guys think?

Depends on the brand of the rims. Genmetal with a polished lip looks nice. Then youll have the best of both worlds silver with gunmetal.

Thanks for the feedback, I think gunmetal will be hot on a silver car. What I'm thinking on is motegi racing MR7 rims
