VMR Gunmetal or HyperBlack? HELP!

Hey guys so tomorrow I'm going to pick up a set of VMR's and I really can't decide whether I want the VB3's in hyperblack or the CSL style wheels in Gunmetal. I have a Sparkling Graphite e90 and I'm getting them in 19's.
So tell me what you guys think looks better! THANKS!

I think either one would look good. Gunmetal would probably be a closer match to your paint color. Hyperblack has more of a shine for a little more contrast. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Hyperblack! i had them on my steel gray e46 and now on my e90 montego blue! I think hyperblack is great because it shines during the day, but has a nice dark feature at night coming across as gunmetal with brake dust build up. Its the best of all scenarios.

Not a great picture, was in a rush. And yes it's dirty. Currently stationed at Fort Huachuca and it's almost monsoon season, so I'm not going to bother washing it when it's just going to rain the next day... lol

VMR 710 HYPERBLACK, 19x9.5 Fronts and 19x10 Rears

I have gunmetal, but seeing that you have a grey car, I think hyperblack would suit your better.

I went with gunmetal because they were out of black and hyperblack. They'll be here either tomorrow or Monday. I'll post pics when they're on maybe around next week.
