Was going to say the real life colour probably probably isnt representative in the images.
I put this on the other post but this is how mine used to look in shadow chrome.

Im not keen on dark wheels all the detail disappears they are hard to keep clean, black especially scratches like swirls, when they chip with inevitable stone chips etc, catch one and you have silver coming through. Just my opinion obviously but ive had (gunmetal grey which is about the same as graphite) on my Z4M coupe, gloss black on my Mini Cooper S and Clubman JCW.
I went through the same process with my Z4M years ago.

Below is an image of my CSLs and 224s both dirty but the 224s are gloss gunmetal grey but you can see how dull they are

All personal opinion but thought I would put a few pics up.

How about black with a silver edge, like porsche or AMG?
I think that would suit a yellow Z.

Id go for satin black, just done that on the red porker..provides a nice contrast, or a gunmetal if you prefer something a bit lighter

I would have voted either gloss or satin black, but as could only pick one and was not sure what you currently have I voted satin as on its own I thought it was better but I would overall say that if it is currently gloss you have on your car then keep it as it looks great

You haven't put up photos of shadow chrome but I voted for it, if it's like what MMM has put up I am sticking to my vote but I think gunmetal would also look good. Gloss black would also look ok on yellow but you've already got that so maybe time for a change? Silver goes with everything but everyone has it and it's good to be a bit different!

Thnx..drifting towards gunmetal…at the moment ..
