I'm usually not a fan of the two tone, silver/black. But on a black B5 it could look pretty good.

I didn't even notice the black part of it. I just like the darker silver

I believe it's a machined finish as opposed to just being painted.

Third. The darker color looks less 'blingy' and more down to business.

Default I had AR1s on my GTI back in the day and liked them a lot.
Had to get rid of them because they wouldn't clear the Boxster brakes I installed. It was one or the other, I chose the brakes.
