Black or Silver SSR Rims

As some of you know, mine is a used black 96 TT. My goal is get to Stage III while looking very good. I have the intake taken care of and the exhaust is in progress. Now, I need to do the rims. My preference is the SSR Professor SP1, 16 inches F&R. At the most, I'd do 17" F&R but no larger. Here's where I need help: BLACK or SILVER? My Z31 had black mesh and that looked really good. I'm leaning silver on the SSRs. The black SSR looks great on the Z32 but for some reason it doesn't pulse me as much as the silver. I'd go with either but need input.

If your car is black. It's hard for me to tell in the little picture. I am a little color blind. I say go silver. But, for every other color, I say go black. Contrast can be good.

Mine is flat black, in and out. Yeah, I'd agree with you on the SSRs. If any one is listening, my next Q? is about the offset. What does this mean; disks and so forth:

Offset is the difference between where the wheel mounts to the hub, and the center of the wheel on a vertical axis.

Offset depends on the desing of the WHEEL (it's a damn wheel, not a F**KING RIM! The rim is the small part along the outside of the wheel that the tire sits on. Calling wheels rims is like putting spinners on your mini van... /rant off). Call the dealer, they should be able to tell you for sure.
