POLL: What Color CSL's To Put on BSM

I want to get some 18" CSL's and I don't know what color to put on my BSM, help me decide! Also if you have a pic of a JB/BSM with CSL's that's not posted on here please post!

GUNMETEL







MATTE BLACK









HYPER BLACK







SUPER SILVER

I haven't seen a JB/BSM 1er with this color CSL yet so can someone post a pic or photoshop them on a JB/BSM to get a feel what they will look like? Thanks in advance!

gunmetal, unless you can keep you tires always shiny and black, then maybe matte black.

Super-duper Silver. Ain't nuthin' like the original finish that started it all.

Gunmetal and Matte Black both look really good, but it's really all up to your personal preference. Some people love the blacked out look, some people prefer gunmetal. Me? I just love both and I would be happy with either one.

Eventually once you decide, send me a PM and we can work on pricing since Gunmetal/Matte black are exclusive EAS colors

I was so close to getting these in hyper black, so that's my vote. It's just there hasn't been many good photos of hyper black. You can just tell the camera quality and photography in the gunmetal photos are far superior than those hyper black pics lol

Since you have shadowline I wouldn't do plain silver, and black on black is just going to make it even more important to keep it all squeeky clean. I vote for gunmental.

I would go silver unless you are going to blackout the entire car. Even then, I think silver offers some contrast on the car.

yeah I don't wanna go for the whole blacked out look so I've pretty much scratched getting matte black so im torn between gunmetal and super silver since that's what got the most votes. I already know what gunmetal looks like on bsm/jb and it looks sexy but I have yet to see a pic of super silver on bsm/jb so I can't really get a feel of what it will look like but I REALLY would like to see it so anyone wanna do a quick photoshop of super silver on a bsm/jb 1 for me?
