BBS RS-GTs on Guards Red: Diamond Black or Silver???

Well, I've got a Guards Red C4S and was wondering if the RS-GTs would look better in Diamond Black or Silver.

What's your take? I keep bouncing back and forth on Tirerack's website looking at the two. Driving me nuts.

Diamond Black Pros: unique color offset by the polished rims. Cons: May look "off" on a red car.

Silver Pros: Can't beat good old silver. If it were polished, I'd take it over the diamond black. Cons: silver wheels are everywhere.

D. Black. They look so nice. The color won't look dated when the whole black wheel fad goes away, and it offsets the color of the car better. If you had a mettalic color I'd say silver, but for bright red these are it. Silver is timeless and will never go out of style.

Do this: Buy one of each from me, put em on the car, decide - and then buy three more and return the one you don't want. I have people do that all the time.

For red car, definitely D. Black. The two color compliments each other.

I had silver on my black C2. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ght=black+whip It was a tough choice. Might have jumped the other way on a red car.

I have diamond black and I really like them, because it doesnt look overdone since they are really more of a smoke color, not dark at all. I would go with diamond black
