So im planning on getting 18" Falken Torque 5 rims over the winter/ spring, but i cannot decide what color to get. The black looks cool...but i dunno if i wanna go black on black... They come in silver, gun metal, and gloss black. Please give me some insight to help me solve my dilemma!!

I'm liking the last one. Is that gun metal? woot! But yeah, since yer car is black, It would look good with the black or silver rims better in my opinion.

Given the polished lip and your car being black, the black wheels might be too much of a contrast -- black, aluminum, black.

Gunmetal would be my choice.

Dammit, why is everybody getting this design now? Sorry, irritating as hell. I spent my wheel and tire budget this year on suspension repairs Toyota told me where necessary, though as it turns out they were incorrect about what was wrong. And my planned wheels? American Racing Casinos. Basically the same as the Torque 5, but with a little more curve to the spokes.

I know it's a fifth-gen, but thought I'd share this:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/360468

The wheels are listed as RTX F128 rims, but I can't tell them apart from the Torque 5, right down to the polished rim. RTX is a Canadian company, by the way, rtxwheels.com -- who knows, you might be able to get the same wheel design for less...
