Forgestar F14 color to get ?

Hey Guys, So I ordered a 535 Msport in Alpine White and I've decided to go with the Forgestar f14's in 20". I wanted your input on what finish I should go with ?? I had black wheels on my AW 550i and am kind of over it, so I want to go with something different. I've narrowed it down to either Gunmetal or the Brushed Titanium. I'm leaning towards the gunmetal cause I think it would match the anthracite rear diffuser of the Msport.... Let me know what you guys think

Generally, I like Gunmetal better. But with Alpine White, I'd think the bright silver would look better.

I vote gunmetal and do the chrome trim on the handles and around the side blinkers to match!

Either way it will look sick Rob!

Gunmetal would be my choice on an AW! Although this isn't a F10 5series, it'll give you an idea how of both finishes will look on your car!

I have AW also and thinking gun metal or bright silver. Waiting for you to get yours and take pics lol.

My rims are dirty gray right now. My 6 year old son said dad are you going to clean this car or what? Those rims are not cool grey they are just dirty gray. He wants me to get black F14's.
