which wheel color would look better on my yaris sedan??

I'm having a tough time deciding between two colors of this wheel I wanna get.

this one is the Motegi FF7 Rim in Gun Metal

16x7, 17x7, 18x7.5, 19x7.5
4, 5 Lug - High
Gun Metal




the other one is the Motegi FF7 Rim in Glossy Black

16x7, 17x7, 18x7.5, 19x7.5
4, 5 Lug - High
Glossy Black




My sedan color is Flint Mica and I plan to drop it just a little to give it a nice look after I decide which rim to get.

I need help deciding since both look good on my car and even though it comes down to personal taste, i wanna hear what other fellow yaris owners would say. Any advice?

Gunmetal FTW. Black's been overdone IMO

I am partial to black (I have black w/ chrome lip) and have always been a fan of black wheels; so I vote for those :)

Ooo I like that one... Although I don't understand why they have to drill more holes than they have to.

they don't have more holes than needed ... they are 4-lug universal rims and have the multiple drill slots so that they can fit different 4-lug cars (or 5-lug, 6-lug, etc)

meh... I still think they would look better with just 4 holes... I'm sure they could afford to make different versions with more holes if they really wanted to. It would make the car look less... "universal"

I always made sure my universals were covered with centercaps so no one but I knew those extra annoying holes were there
I hate them too, but sometimes you just fall in love with a set of wheels and just your luck - you can onlyfind them in universal patterns :/ lol
