I like the gunmetal with the gray. Not so sure about the paint down the middle though. Who knows, I might be wrong.

Go with the black. There are already black parts on much of the exterior anyways so black wheels will definately match well and provide more contrast.

I vote black, having the entire car one color is lame. It's nice to have a contrast between 2 colors.

Actually the ones in the first post had a lip and the ones in 14 did not or maybe very little, but my vote is for the black in the first post. Now why don't you go buy whichever one you like.
