Help in choosing color for IP G37!!!!

So I am planning on getting IForged Evolutions or Classics for my Ivory Pearl G37 Coupe with sports package. I am not sure on if I want to get brushed or polish centers, or hyperblack. I just can't make up my mind with out seeing it in person. Any ideas or pictures?

EVOLUTION


CLASSIC



Evolution in High Polish:

Evolution in Brushed Aluminum:
http://www.iforged.com/showroom/main.php?g2_itemId=911

Or Classic in Hyper Black:
http://www.iforged.com/showroom/main.php?g2_itemId=339

These pictures are just for colors.

Im leaning towards polish or hyper black classics.

^ agree. For IP I would normally lean towards black, but polish has a nice pop day and at night. The Evolution design is very appealing, it looks good on its own whereas the black looks better on the car with a contrasting color. The G37 seems to have very little brake dust, so it'll look good longer. They both would be a good choice. May I ask how much you are getting them for?
EDIT: Actually the rim on the black provides good contrast as well, it should look very good on IP.

Its just that for black in pictures, you just can't see the wheel and I haven't seen it in person. I don't want something where you can't see the design. But with Polish is it going to be the hardest thing to keep clean? Which makes me think that I should settle for brushed. gah too hard. What I really want is some HRE wheels but cost is twice as much.

The best way to keep wheels looking clean is prevention. Generally, you would want to apply wheel protection regularly and it won't be that hard to wipe dust off. There are professional detailers in the Car Care & Detailing forum who can provide good advice and tips.
EDIT: Don't settle for anything, get what you want in your price range. Whichever one gives you the biggest smile when the wheels look at their best far outweighs those days it might look dirty. That feeling alone can make you want to baby them more.

I would go with gunmetal or brushed wheel with a polished lip in the evolution.

Classics look more like the HRE 547R's that I was going for. Definitely will be a polished lip. But from looking at black wheels in person on a white car, can you see the wheels or does it just look like random wheels. I just wish I could see it in person.

https://www.myg37.com/forums/picture-share-g-coupe/174958-couple-pics-of-my-car-on-dpe-wheels-and-side-by-side-with-g35.html

that's mine on a set of "gunmetal" wheels

not black, but its the closest to black on a white g37 i've seen so far

try looking on g35driver for pictures of black wheels on a white g35, shouldn't be hard to find

Hyper black looks like a matte and standard looks like gloss, I would be more in to the matte side myself.



Hyper black classics
