I hate the black with the chrome lip. Gun metal or Gold. I'm looking into either Bronze or Gold rims myself.

Stay away from chrome. In the parking lot where I work I saw a tC with chrome wheels on it. Needless to say, it looked really bad. I see more and more tCs now going with Gunmetal/Anthracite. Hyper Black is a nice color. I have a set of 5Zigens in HB and they look really nice. I am really beginning to like Silver rims on silver tCs. So, to answer your ?; go Silver, HB, Gunmetal, or Gold. For some strange reason, Gold looks better than bronze on silver tCs. GL

Yeah, I wanted a white car myself (SW or RS3), but since the 07s were being phased out to make room for the 08s (I did NOT want an 08-looked ugly), it was near impossible to find a 07 SW. I tried to convince my parents to buy me the RS3 (the next best color), but it was out of our budget. So, I got stuck with the CSM. I wasn't too happy about the color, but it's grown on me. It's just a shame I couldn't get the gold wheels I originally wanted... I thinking about gunmetal though. It looks nice on the silver. Black is too overused, IMO.

I am having the same issue with picking a finish for my silver tC. I am leaning towards either silver or gunmetal... definitely no chrome or gold on the silver car...
