Gunmetal or Black 400M sport on Apline white

I cant decide which way to go!!! I have a white 2013 328 with tinted windows (legal in Mass so I call "smoked") and getting new rims and tires. I just cant decide between the gloss black or the gunmetal grey.

I have carbon fiber badges to replace the standard white and blue as well as a carbon fiber rear lip.

Anybody got something similar they can send me a pic of to help?

Agreed, Gunmetal....provides a different contrast plus you can see the details within the rim better!!

Gunmetal for sure IMO.
While not exactly comparable, maybe this helps with a visual. This is Mineral White with anthracite.

Gunmetal or BMW Ferric Grey IMO

Black, a great colour on certain wheels; makes the likes of 400Ms details lost IMO

Not too dissimilar a wheel; these are my Style 397s in satin black as my winter wheels:



But I've just had my satin black 405Ms refurb'd in Ferric Grey and they look superb; the detail really pops now:

Thanks everyone. I ended up going black. I agree the details in the rim can get lost, especially when head on, and I'm a little nervous about constant cleaning due to brake dust but there is a white M3CS in my office parking lot with black rims and it just looks soooooo good!
