Contrast is what you need, gunmetal.

I am liking the dark metallic blue idea with gun metal stripes. Then get the gun metal center wheels to match the stripes. Black on black looks killer right now, but not sure how long the fad will last.

Hey Frank, how about chrome SP3P's on a black car? Have you guys sent Michael's wheels out to get chromed?

I was being a bit of a smart ass. Actually, we are looking at sending them in for Black Chroming, but probably not until after Hot Rods and Restorations.

I was picking up on your sarcasm, plus I knew that you guys were planning on chroming the SP3P's because they are a pain.

It is a nice contrasting yet neutral color that would go well with the stripes.

Look at Prodigy, if that car had black wheels I think they would get lost & give the car a whole different look.
Could not be said any better.....

Side note, paint the car dark blue that you selected. You better be willing to spend big bucks on a black paint job in order to get to look right. Ask me how I know?

I'm with Rybar on this one, unless you are looking for the stealth look.

All black is "too much of a good thing" - although it looked great on Fuel. I just think the GM would look better unless you are gonna black out everything like Fuel did.

The gunmetal will make for a nice offset with whatever color you choose (except another gunmetal color)
