Opinions: Which rims to buy?

Let me first preface this by saying that I understand rim choice/style is all subjective and that there is no right or wrong answer. With that said, I am genuinely torn 50/50 between these two styles and I'm looking for opinions from everybody that feels like chiming in.

Anyway, I drive a Silver Ice Metallic Camaro and here is my dilemma. I like both the Silver Niche Nurburg rims and the Niche Apex Machined Black/Dark Tinted Clear rims. For months I have been leaning towards the Silver Nurburg rims but I've never seen them on a silver Camaro and I am unsure how they will look (is it too much silver?). Also, I have never really been a big fan of black rims, it's just not my thing, but I saw pictures of SoCal Swagger's SIM with the Apex rims and LOVED the way they looked.

And just an FYI, the Apex rims would be 20's, the Nurburg's would be 22's.

Here are some pictures for a better reference:

Silver Niche Nurburg (Remember to try and picture these on a SIM Camaro and with a black center cap)



This is TStko's Camaro (If I get the Nurburg's they'd have the black center cap to break up the silver just a bit)




This is EastTexas' Camaro



And Finally here is a Photoshopped version of the wheels on a SIM (not mine)





And here is the Apex Rim



And here are pics of SoCal Swagger's Ride








Anyway, which ones do you think would look better on a SIM? Any and all opinions are welcomed. Thanks.
