Buying new wheels is tough, as you can't exactly try them out.

2020 Audi Q3 Progressiv 19"

The first two is TY-5 in Gloss Black & Hyper Silver and the third is VULCAN in Black Machined.

Out of those, I like the silver TY-5. I think black wheels look bad, and black machined are even worse.

Agreed. I do like the Vulcan's design a but this is why I'm leaning towards TY-5 because it's available in silver.

Isn't matte black derived because people didn't want to clean their rims

Perhaps. Some pick Black is for sporty look too.

Hard to say why people pick the colour they like.

Actually not a fan of black rims but options in color is limited. The two tone is the only reason why I'm even considering the Vulcan.

Definitely. I have the SS05.on my CivicX and feels like it's the same style.

You could get an idea of how they would look online also. Here are a couple of sites which let you do that:

https://www.customwheelsnc.com/wheel-visualizer

Not sure if they have the exact wheels you are considering.

What color is the car?

My pick so far would be the Vulcans (do these come in any other finishes?)

Blue.

I actually wanted the Vulcan in Anthracite but it was for only a limited time. The other option is Black, gloss which is even worst.
