i currently have the steel grey 16" rota slipstreams.... and since i have it i've always thought that if i should get black instead of grey...
and now, i've done a crappy photoshop to see the difference between grey and black slipstreams on my car! (the photoshop is kinda bad but you get the idea, if someone can help me do a better one i'd be very appreciate)
steel grey (origional)

black (photoshopped)

which one do you guys think is better? or both are the same? or is just not worth me to paint them black?
thanks a lot!!

I think your splitting hairs. They are so similar in color that it's really not worth the $. At nite, no one will be able to tell the diff.

Black, mainly b/c the colour of the car makes it work.

black, I'm thinking of getting black rims only for my car, mainly because it goes perfect with the yellow, the more black on the yellow the better the car looks.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I'd say black for sure.
Yellow lip on the outside of the rim could be cool too.
