Go back to silver accents with Bright Wheels?

So I've pretty much performed a "shadow Line" blackout on all the exposed Silver pieces on the car, but now I'm looking at a set of v810's in Hyper Silver and wondering if I should take the black trim off and accent the cab with silver....thoughts? Need a little help here as they all look good!!!

This is what she looks like all blacked out around the windows and body:



This is the wheels on a blue car...really lights up the tone:



And this is my color with the darker wheels (which I like also):

Hyper silver was never really my preference. It was more gunmetal and matte black colours. Since almost 90% people plastidip their rims and go matte black, everything looks the same. I choose hyper silver v710 and wow do they stand out. Feels very oem but 10times better

I feel the same way. Every kid has their Honda or Mits running beer cans for exhausts and blacked out wheels. Thanks for the reply!

I am just not a fan of silver these days but honestly it's a very personal decision.
