Black to Silver
Just received my Christmas gift from the wife... I wasn't sure what I would think going to liquid silver from HRE but after installing them I really do like them over the black OEM wheels. Stock tires now will probably go to 255 and 295 or 305 when needing new ones since the HRE's are 20x11 and 19x9.5. What do you guys think black or silver?

IMO, the silver wheel look so much better. Good choice for your car.

I would have to respectfully disagree, for me, it would look much better if the new ones were black. not too sure about chrome I mean "MAN.. there ain't been no chrome around for centuries... you freeze dried or doing hard time?" 
Just joking, but black wheels are not a "fad" (Pretty Harsh) they are a choice and a style and that sense of style is very subjective. Black makes ride look more recy or aggressive in some ways that chrome cannot. At the end of the day you 'gotta do you.

I like both colors as I find wheel choices are a personal preference and wheels look better with different colors of exterior choices.
