Thinking of getting Breyton GTS-Rs what color should I go with?

I have a 2007 MCS Hardtop in Dark Silver and was wondering what color wheels I should go with. My hardtop is white and the mirror caps are white as well.

what do you guys think I should go with. I am having a tough time deciding haha

I like the black with the red stripe. Check it out on your vehicle at:

It depends on whether you want the wheels to be a focal point or not.

I like the Bright Silver and am contemplating getting those or Enkei Racing PF01 or GTC01. For me, it's coming down to straight pokes or curved spokes.

If you had black, they would be hidden in plain sight and the car would be the focal point.

yea that is true... i might end up getting bright silver. I am planning to get the JCW aero kit as well. So i just want things to just flow well. I feel like the red stripe will help set the rim off a little. But now I am starting to think silver will be the best option

You could probably do better but I was shopping for skirts only and got an M7 splitter for the standard bumper. Cheaper in the long run and looks just as cool.

Finding a GP spoiler is my next hunt. I'd like to get an M7 Two tier but the wife ain't diggin' it. Too Tall she says! Pfft!! No its not.

With the inserts, I think it was $560 shipped.
