Thanks for the photo-assistance guys!! This helps a lot.
Appleseed -- I think that is close to the color that I am thinking of!
Gasoline -- thanks for putting the silver/black Fuchs wheels on that pic. I was wondering how they'd look -- I think I'll have to paint the recesses black.
And I am leaning towards painting the rear a black to match the window frames/"B" pillars. The section with the taillights needs to be black as well as the lower valance that surrounds the exhaust. Painting that valance black makes it disappear and makes the rear of the car look slimmer -- see my original photo above -- it is already black (and where I got the idea from )
