I had the same problem when I was deciding on the wheels for my car too. I decided on chrome since it was brighter and stand out more. However, chrome can be more difficult to maintain. Since your car is silver, you should go with the silver wheels so everything matches. The polished lip would accent the wheels very nicely.

Normally I would say chrome, but that wheel looks much better in silver.

If you're interested in the factory Gen 5.5 chrome grille as an upgrade, I have one that I'd sell.

I would definitely say silver. Personally, I rarely like chrome wheels. I guess sometimes they look tacky to me. But to each his own. Get what YOU like!

I've been in your same position for a longtime. It's taken me 4 years to figure out what kind of rims I want...I finally made up my mind. Enkei Evo 5 Hyper Black...But as for which rims to go with...I like silver. Plus chrome weighs a bit much

I would say go for the silver as well, it should go great with your silver Camry.

Chrome (hey, somebody got to vote for your 60% :-). But really, silver is nice, chrome stands out more on a gray car. I think depending on the rim, silver on gray can look dull.

I would agree, but if we are comparing the two rims posted above, IMO the silver looks nicer, the Chrome wheel looks kinda cheesy.

Chrome wheels will look ok on dark colored cars..
On your silver car? Def go for Silver or even darker wheels with polished lip.

silver would be best between the pictures that you have for your rims, but other than those, i'd say a darker color would look good on your car too.
