Which lugs look better?

Silver or black?

I'm trying some silver lugs in place of the stock black ones. Which do you think looks better? I'm liking the silver.





edit - I took a better pic of the silver

Black offers some contrast in your rims, and it matches the car well.

The black ones look very nice, match up with the black of the car and offer contrast on the rims, but I prefer the silver as they blend in and don't distract from the wheel design. If they're the fancy chrome ones (like McGard) that's even better.

I like both but I'll vote black. The black lugs look like an intentional design decision, the silver might look more like that's just what happened to be lying around.

I'm suprised at the near unanimous preference for black. To me the silver looks cleaner and makes the wheels look bigger.

Thanks for all the opinions
