Yeah, whoops...SGM = Sparkling Graphite Metallic, which, IMO, would be even worse with black wheels. Silver for the street.

Black wheels make the car look drab and dark on any color

How about Anthracite?
You can see the wheels, but don't need to clean them.

17" set. Only two choices according to TR. Which is annoying because the 17" come in a wide range of colors according to OZ. But TR won't special order them for me.
I'd order Matte Graphite Silver without a doubt but I can't for some reason. |

They probably ran out
I saw some 18" in graphite earlier this year on TR when I was cross shopping between OZ and apex arc 8.

I've talked to Gill about it. They don't stock 17"s in MGS and they won't special order them. Which sucks because TR is the only NA dealer for OZ wheels

silver hands down. but why are you doing 17s instead of 18s, just trying to eliminate that understeer up front with a square setup?
i dunno but from tracking the car with the stock tires i'd like to have seen 255s on the rears... |

I cracked one of my 264s and the other 3 are bent. I'm just tired of 18"s in NY. But I figure if I'm gonna do a 17" setup I'm gonna try to do right. You know?

I autox mostly. But I can do track events if I deploy the pop up bars an pass the broomstick test. They consider the deployed hoops a rollbar which is sufficient for most organizations.

As a fellow owner of God's color I think the best shade is in between silver and black. The Matte Graphite Silver would have been great. Gill couldn't pull a few strings for major 1 Addict? Would you consider having them painted?

Just curious. . .I did not know they deployed unless there is a roll-over.
