Default Gunmetal on a silver car???

I was hoping someone out there would have a picture of any car, Hyuundai or not, that is silver in colour, but has Gunmetal coloured rims on it. I'm considering putting 17" rims on my Elantra. Just wondering if it would look any good.

So I take it your putting gunmetal's on your silver Tibby. That'd be great if you had a chance to post a pic.

I'm doing the same thing with my Elantra. I'm buying some 16"(I'm sick of my 17"s) Arospeed RSGTs in gunmetal. I think it'll look good. Definately something a lot of people haven't done yet, that's for sure.

FTW TapOut VA, just curious why you'd be sick of your 17's? I mean if you are going to 16's, did you feel the extra wieght slowed down your car? Or that they just looked too big?

I loved the look, but hated the driving experience. I have potholes and fudged up streets all around me, so, I was all the time swerving to miss something so I wouldn't bend a rim or pop a tire. I figured with 16s I could get away with a bigger tire and not have to worry about potholes all time.
