is your grand sport badge on the side silver? if so i would go with silver, if its chrome, go with Chrome (coordinate)

I can't help you on the sizing, but I like the look of the wheels on that car.

Those chrome wheels look beautiful! The silver look nice too. I think the chrome would look better on your silver car. I think the silver ones would look nicer on a brighter color.

Chrome would be my first choice of the two. Almost anything but those dreaded "black things !!"

Good luck

That can lead to divorce. Seriously though folks, I think the silver car with silver wheels takes some of the pop away from both the car and the wheels. You need some contrast. I'd go with the chrome.

Since this is all about taste/preferance --
I normally do not like chrome. But, with a silver car, the silver wheels get lost a bit. So, for your car, chrome.

HOWEVER --

I had a silver C5 that the prior owner upgraded to black Z06 wheels w/polished lips.

The look was great with silver. Really woke the car up. I loved it; so it seemed did everybody who commented on the car. Might be tough to find in your preferred style, though...
