Having a Silver GS myself - I'm in between Chrome/Chrome and Gunmetal Chrome.. It just depends on what kind of look you want.. Personally the Gunmetal/Chrome gives it a more "tuner" look while Chrome/Chrome is more of a "baller" look.. Its up to you.. Personally I like the gunmetal/chrome look best but I like the "Racy" look.

Brushed aluminum or diamond finish with either a chrome or polished lip.

I would say it boils down to the rim you are looking at. Have a pic of the style rim that you can post in your first thread?

Brushed center with poilish lip or gunmetal w/polished lip, that's what my first two options would be. IMO can't go wrong with a brushed finish.

This is what I have on mine. I like the look, but I seriously thought about the gun metal option.

It's going to be silver but the finish is gonig to be different. It's not going to look shiny at all so that's why you offset it with a chrome or polished lip. Do a google search for MRR, I believe they use the diamond finish on their wheels.
