Definitely SILVER! Black wheels belong in the Ghetto. I still thing the MINI Pace wheel is the best looking of them all.

Silver, but that’s only because the wife would not let me pick up a third set of black R98’s.

Of those choices, black.

Gun metal or anthracite is more my speed though.

Silver for me (R112 Cross Spoke or Conical Spoke), I agree on black wheels being 'ghetto'.
Go what you like most. I wouldn't ask forums.
