if you dont clean the brake dust, it will give you the same gun metal type appearance.

However, the brake dust will not be evenly distributed on each rim, my vote is for gunmetal as well...

Don't like black or gunmetal rims. Stock looks the best.

I fumbled with this issue for a long long time. I was actually surprised that so many people like black rims, especially on a black car. I don't like the "blacked out" look personally. I think it makes the wheel look drab. But I also feel that a silver or chrome wheel on a black car has too much contrast for my taste. So I decided that gunmetal is a good choice for a black car. Less contrast but not too blacked out. That's why I ordered a gunmetal wheel for my BSM. I hope I like my choice when all is said and done.

Gunmetal will make the car much more unique and look more aggressive

I'd keep the stock wheels for winter and get something like CSLs for summer. Those could be hyperblack.

I had dark bronze rims once on my WRX. I thought it looked wonderful.
