I think the BSM needs more of a pure gray tone, than anything else...especially if you're going for a gunmetal wheel.

So, here's the finished product. Despite these crappy iPhone pictures, I think they look GREAT! They have quite a bit of flop to them, so they look very silver metallic in the sunlight, and at night or at dusk they look darker. This color is a total winner in my opinion, but I realize not everyone is going to like them...a lot of people like the stock rims. I just thought the contrast was a bit too much for my taste. Anyway, here they are...let me know your thoughts.

This is what they look like in darker conditions:


This is more what they look like in better lit conditions:


This is showing what it looks like in "DARK" light conditions:


You can sort of get the idea of what these look like with a bit more light. They look amazing in the light, since it really shows off that silver metallic!!
