My winter wheels are black.
My oem wheels are the silver 400m.
I might make them dark grey when Spring comes around.

This thread will surely generate many opinions while yours is the only one that matters.

My humble vote is for silver or gun metal gray.

I see your Hyper Silver V803's and raise you a set of Gunmetal V803's!

EB is one of those colors where you really cant go wrong on wheel color (within reason).

I love this thread... gunmetal or gray... that way you don't have to deal with brake dust that much.

Ferric grey is the absolute best to be honest, absolutely love that color to no end. So i guess gunmetal is the closest to it :P.

A darker gunmetal looks good on pretty much anything.

Of the colors listed, gun metal; however, my personal pick would be bronze.

I love the grey from the track handling package myself, but these are ours, gloss black 704m. Im not sure how the car got them, if they were an option on the 2018s, or if the prior owner swapped them or painted them I have no idea, but black or dark grey both look awesome with estoril blue.
Sorry for the dealer pics but we just bought the car 10 days ago, and these are the best I have!

PS Edit: Estoril blue is apparently available only on the Ms and M sport packages, so since you wont find chrome on these cars, the metallic color wheels dont look as good IMO.
