Default Silver or Black DONZ Columbos on a GGP 2GS?

I need some input from you gentlemen. What do you think would look better on my Graphite Grey Pearl GS? D2 has a great deal on Donz Columbos so I'm going to get a set of them but, I'm trying to decide which to go with. Either Silver or Black, both with a stainless steel lip. They'd be 20 x 8.5 in the front and 20 x 10 in the rear.

I just ordered a set of K-Sport coilovers from MVP so that's what I'll be lowered on. I plan on being pretty slammed all the way around.

Personally I think the black wheel/chrome lip look is played out but, with my car I could see it being sick looking. I plan on having the black chrome theme going on throughout the exterior with the rear badge, red/smoked taillights, black chrome anniversary front grill, and black chrome side markers. Also the sport design headlight housings. But I also think the silver would set the color off nicely. Any and all input is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.

Silver wins this one easily in my book.

PS. If anyone replies with some crap about "do what you like, man...it's your money", I'll hunt their car down and swap it with a Deawoo. He's asking for an opinion.

seize as always you are the photoshop king. i am looking at the columbos though, not the montoyas (i think that's their name). the wheels are the ones that papi posted above. if it is a brushed face like adrian says, then i would imagine that it would look sick on the GGP.

I use to like the black look until everyone and their mom had them. Now it just looks plain cheap to me. Silver all the way right here.

The Columbo style wheel looks better in a black imo. In addition, black wheels would contrast your interior best.

Black w/chrome lip IS NOT played out.
Thats what people want "to think" since so many people have it.

Honestly the car looks sharp with the black wheels.
