Default Manhattan Grey with glossy black rims?

I just ordered my A5 sportback in manhattan grey and I am suffering from insomnia since I don't know what rims to get. I am inclined to ordering some 19" glossy black rims (or something dark like a gun metal) but I can't visualize how it will look against the manhattan grey.

Pictures would be much appreciated and will surely aid my insomnia!

Go to tirerack.com. They have an interface that allows you to visualize a set of rims against your car and color.

Personally I’m not a fan of black rims - reminds of cars in the ‘60s & ‘70s that couldn’t even afford hubcaps let alone wheels. Just a personal opinion.

You could power coat the stock wheels but I don't know how it would look.

Sooo sick!! I think I will go with the third look. But I am not sure if the first and second one are manhattan grey though, first looks black to me and the second one looks like daytona.

ftwjonathan,
They are all Daytona Grey, because S5's are only offered in Daytona Grey. A5's are only offered in Manhattan Grey, but they are not that
far off from each other, but you get the picture.......

Monsoon Gray is much more like a Silver.
