Gun metal will look classier with a black car.

I'm not a fan of gunmetal on black. Looks washed out and not enough contrast. I know it's the rage in the Honda groups, so I'm probably on the other side of the curve, but you said my opinion counts and I want to be heard!!!

I think one of the design point of the Mini is the big bright wheels in each corner.

I would go with silver

I normally shy away from the darker wheels but on a black car, unless it's black wheels, I'd go silver.
