It's personal opinion, but 108s look best silver, it's down to you.
(bright purple with a gold rim could be more your style)

I'm thinking silver too - stick with OEM.

When mine get done again it will be polished outer, shadow chrome star. But it's up to you. They look good silver on a grey car.

I'm looking into doing mine and I think I'm going to go back with a bright silver.
It just looks good.

108s look good with a coloured centre on a silver car, but on grey I think I would keep it silver. Have you thought about an entirely different wheel? I guess before refurbing your existing wheels would be the time to change.

I like Shadow Chrome. Lynchy has a really nice set of 224's!

Silver for me also, mainly because I like to keep things as original as possible, but also because I haven't come across a colour combination which looks any better with Montego blue.
