Need help for wheel color options

Hey guys,
I am planning to get a set of summer wheels of myself, but the wheel color options really made me headache. Currently, some available colors are texture gunmetal / black gloss black / gunmetal, Gross silver. Etc,. Personally, I prefer he colors I mentioned above for my carbon black F06. However, I really can not decide which color will look best on the F06. Also, what is the max size I can go with on the F06?
Is it possible to fit 20 ×9 at front and 20×11 at rear?

You have to maintain the correct overall diameter of the stock wheels or your speedo will be off as will traction control....For Non M GC, and 20's your best bet is sticking with narrower rears and using the same setup as the M Sport 20's tires..

275 is too narrow for my personal taste, and I have seen folks with 285, 295 even 305 tires.

I just wanna make sure what's the max tire and rim size I can go and maintain safety ay the same time.

I have seen ppl use 305's on 21" rims on M6 bc you maintain close to same diameter wheel as stock.. ....Not 20's....

I think 21" gun metal would be very nice.

You have to keep the overall diameter similar to stock just remember that...That said, buy XL tires and 255/35/20 go with 285/30/20 best and closest to the stock set-up....Or go 21's

The flowforged ones do not come in 21'' Neversummer,
I changed my mind finally, do not want the Vorsteiner VFF-101 anymore, I might go to powercoat my factory m pkg wheel in satin black and add spacers to them first. If I will not satisfy with it, I will go with full gorged 21''.
