Question Gun Metal

Anybody got pics of a Silver IS on gun metal grey finish rims?? Don't want to get trashed on the comparison but I have seen a silver civic on gun metal grey rims and I think it looks great. Got a new IS300 sportdesign because I love the color but I don't like the rims too much... Thanks in advance

it's not silver, but the wheels are gunmetal.
and it depends on how the weather is where your at. i'm keeping my stock wheels for winter weather driving, i've already ruined a set of wheels on my last car by leaving them on all year round. salt sux for most wheels.
p.s.-i just got the car notice the temp tag still on the trunk, so that's why the only thing done so far is the wheels.
