Torn between Obsidian Black and Platinum Graphite

I plan on getting a G37 coupe the first weekend in December. I've been going back and forth in my head between the OB and PG. I've always owned black cars, because I think they look the best for practically any car. But PG looks nice too. I'm afraid that once I pick a non-black car, I'll see a sweet-lookin black G37 and regret it... lol

Also, does anyone have a good link of the 18" 5, double spoke rims that come with the non-S versions? It seems like everyone has the 19's.

Don't get the black! It's a pain in the **** to keep clean plus swirls and scratches show up more. I went black, but would definitely go back. (to IP or PG)

I got OB cuz I didn't want to wait for the PG with black interior to come in... I say go PG, it's a lot easier to keep clean, and there are far less PG's then OB's out there

#1 it's BO

#2 Don't listen to these *****s about Black maintenance

Get started right and protect the paint(see Detailed Image on this site)
Don't ever let the dealer wash the car
Never go into a car wash
Keep it in a garage
Use the right products to wash it

Black is the best color on this car

BO is a total PITA. But it's a legit Secret Agent Color and worth it!
