Exclamation Poll: Best Color BBK with Sparkling Graphite?

Let me know what you guys think. I can't make up my mind, but if I pull the trigger it'll be a StopTech kit and probably cross-drilled cuz I love the look.
Here's a few pics to help you (and me) decide...

RED WITH BLACK LETTERING

Comments / Disclaimers:
- I know that the silver BBK is on a SpaceGray
- I know that Darren "Creaminz" car is not SGM, but repainted Porsche GT3 RS Black/Grey
- My main concern with choosing Yellow, Orange, or even Red is that in order for the color to pop, it's best highlighted by black wheels, but I really love the contrast of my hyper silver Advan RS against the SGM paint.

Fun dilemma I thought you guys would enjoy sharing with me.

My car to imagine with BBK...









Oh, and I found a site that makes wheel stickers in custom colors if I wanted to add a subtle touch to the wheels. Maybe black text with a red or yellow outline around the "RS?"

But, here are my two set ups I've had.

Sneaky, IMO silver Stoptech BBK's would look sick on your SGM and also white would look really cool as well.

Stick with Black Sneaky. Your set up now looks so good. I agree, I love my Hyper Silver rims against the SGM too!

I voted for red with black lettering. if you get red lug nuts and maybe red sticker for your wheels it'll look sick. you can get full red lugs or mcgard ones that are silver with a red tip looks pretty good like this. They are the same as the bbs ones but without the bbs sign

I vote for red it is hard to beat this look with SGM. White letters will pop more and black letters will look slightly more aggressive.

Definitely love the yellow as not a lot of people go with it. It also depends on your wheel color as well.

Anthracite or color matched IMO, would work better with the silver wheels.

I would do something different and go for orange. If you're spending all that money, make it pop!
