Default Argent or Silver AEV Pintler's for Black JK?

I'm probably going to get AEV Pintler's for my Rubicon. I'm having trouble deciding between the silver and argent. I don't like the blackout look on black vehicles, but I'm thinking argent might look good. I do like to be unique, and you definitely don't see wheels that color often. But then maybe the silver would go better with the silver accents I have. And I'm thinking maybe the silver finish would hold up better over time. I haven't seen as many Pintler's on black JK's as I have other colors, so it's hard for me to decide. Here's a couple of pics of my Rubicon--tell me which would look better.

I live mine and I'm so lad we went with the bead locks. They look way sicker and they protect the wheels. And I might possibly have an extra set. Pm me for the details. And heres a few pics

I like the silver on a black Jeep. AEV wheels are nice, but not made in the USA. I would buy a different brand.

I think the black Savegre look the best on jeeps. The Pintlers have too much of a factory look for me to spend $209 a piece on them.

If we didn't want bead locks we would have gone with the savegre. They look way better than the non beadlock pintlers.

This is killing me... I worked for Ferrari for 25 years, as I am sure everyone knows these are a copy of their wheels, I love the look. My wife, to my surprise, wants a 2012 Rubicon Unlimited, I picked Rock Krawler 2.5 pro lift, bumpers, Warn 9500 winch, pro comp extreme AT 35's. She likes the pro comp 7105's.

Thanks for the pictures, I am using them to move her to the Argent Pintlers, our is ordered in Natural Green.

We have back packed and are really looking forward to the new Jeep and what it will open up to us!
