Silver finish rims on a silver car.

I'm not sure you can go wrong with silver rims on anything. Go for it.

I prefer silver and think it is the best alternative.

They won't be silver that much. Once you drive around for a while, the brake dust will make them anthracite and they'll look much better.

As long as you dont have the silver surfer look going on (mirror tints, clear tails and side markers, silver grill, silver window trim and say silver colored tires) it'll be fine

My last four cars have all been silver and i've had just about every wheel color combination from silver to gunmetal to gloss black to matte black, and for this car I will be going back to plain old silver. Why? Because it always gives a clean look and that's what i'm going for with this car. I thought about going with a titanium asphault finish or matte black, but at the end of the day it will never look as clean as silver. Just my opinion.

It will look like this but with silver where the white is.
