IMO hypersilver looks best on tiag. Gunmetal would look better than matte black though.

Avant Garde M310's are a similar style, and they are available in matte gunmetal. They are also low pressure cast whereas vmr's are gravity cast.

I also like silver more. Matte black look dirty, but out of those two gun metal.

It's not working directly, because they are banned here.

I think gunmetal would contrast the paint a bit better, but it really depends on your personal preferences and how your car is set up!

Black looks good but doesn't photograph well. Having seen it in person I can say that I like it but personally I'd go for Hyperblack or Gunmetal.

I had hyperblack VB3's before but I wanted gunmetal afterwards. Hyperblack looks weird under certain lighting and angles.

And don't make the same mistake as I did, go for 9.5" in the front and 10.5" (or something like that) in the rear. The 8.5" has no concavity at all.
