Default Opinions Wanted - Wheel Finish on Sepang + HGB

The subject line pretty much says it all. I'm looking for opinions on what wheel finish to get for my Sepang with High Gloss Black package. I've pretty much settled on getting either the HRE FF01 or Morr FS77 in 20" (they're basically the same design). I'm just undecided on what finish to get (silver, gunmetal/anthracite/fog, or black) so I figured I would solicit the masses. And yes, the wheel gap is going to get taken care of.

+ 1 on the gunmetal. Are you selling your stock wheels?

I am a huge fan of black wheels. But that's just my opinion. I think the SQ5 looks amazing when it's clean driving with gloss black wheels.

I'm considering it but will most likely keep them and run winters on these new ones from Nov-Mar. I need to look into how much the 21s are selling for these days.

I definitely like the look, but I'm unsure about whether the details of the wheels get too washed out when you see them on the car in person.

Gunmetal FTW.

But, for me, I think it's hard to beat the stock wheels.

Not too often I would say this, but with that blue, I'd really like to see polished aluminum or even chrome wheels.....again, only because of that Sepang Blue.

The OEM 21" titaniums are even a little "shinier" than the old 20" peeler titaniums. So it's a bit best-of-both-worlds.

I like the black a lot, but it's hard to beat the titanium look IMO.

Lowered and it completes the look.

Nice car btw 😉
