I have been trying to decide on what color I should get... Been bugging the crap out of me for the past 2 weeks... The color of my F is smoky granite mica ... Should I go with Formula Silver or Matte Black... help me decide!!

I've been looking to get a set of those wheels too for my MM.

Agreed...go with the Formula Silver. Matte Black looks sick too but I think it's too similar to the BBS finish.

Love the wheels. Formula silver over matte black by a LONG shot in my opinion.

+1 Formula Silver IMO, color will change to gunmetal or dark grey due to different lightings...

Formula Silver looks slick! It'll really pop off of the Smoky Granite Mica!

Those wheels are gorgeous. Forumula Silver is indeed a great color and makes that wheel pop for sure.

I'm starting to lean toward the Formula Silver too... I agree, it will make the car "pop" alot more... Thanks for all of the feedback!! Looks like I have a month wait time for shipping to the US. Should be about the same time my Wald trunk lip will be here...along with the toms diffuser. Now to decide to go square all around... or not.. Hmmmm... First world problems! lol

You got unanimous feedback to pick Formula Silver. If you get the matte black then your permission to ask for our opinion again will be revoked.

And, I'd keep it staggered rather than go all square, unless you're planning on autocrossing or tracking the car with those wheels on.
