Personally, I reckon the silver over the black. The fact that you have a dark shade of blue,the black doesnt stand out. Just me though.

Stock, easier to sell with the car if you need to sell eventually. I've just left mine in the shed after getting new rims.

Agree again, I still my set of those 4 stud in my shed even though I'm now on a 5 stud set up lol.

That way they are always there to put on the car in case you see it or if you wanna sell the stock wheels after you get new rims you will probably be able to get a tad more then.

Silver for sure. Never been a fan of black wheels on a dark coloured car.

Or if you like cleaning them, white!

Haha, yeah. The white SRi wheels on my GSi have practically gone black from the brake dust. So much for a low dust pad (EBC Greenstuff).

have a look into plasti dip.

you spray them, but its like a rubber film when it dries, so it can be removed if you don't like it! I got 150 bux worth of black and glossifier that I'm planning to use at some stage

This is becoming very common now but it's used more for body trims than wheels, lots of good youtube vids on the subject too :)

yeap you'll need glossifier, for several coats unless you want a matte finish. It's extremely common on rims these days tho, and for good reason. It's reversible!

Definitely bright lime green or orange equivalent.
