I like the black wheels but also like the original :lol: different red, but I have a set of black painted GXP wheels on my SE - http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... 44649.html that might give you an idea anyway.

ITm partial to the painted wheels. There are quite a few members on this forum that have black painted wheels, myself included but mine are just the SE wheels and it's just my winter set up n I've got the original bent 5's for no snow weather.

Black is just too dark, I'd say gunmetal or darker gray… Or just leave them silver.

I agree on the gloss factor. Also, gunmetal might be a thought.
