I'd run stock twisties before I ran either of those wheels.
They'd both look terrible on a Formula, IMO.
NBM Formulas are gorgeous, don't ruin it with either of those wheels!! Those are some of the worst wheels that people put on these cars IMO.
And I'd rethink running black wheels on a NBM car. I was thinking of doing it on mine, but after seeing some photoshops I changed my mind. I ended up going with '01-'02 WS6's (thick spoke). I got a great deal on them, but I actually think they look great on the car.
I think a gunmetal wheel would look great on a NBM car though.
Actually as far as black goes, black ZR1's with a polished lip might look nice with NBM, but I've never seen it before. Maybe you should try that!

The idea of putting black rims on my NBM TA passed through my head, but it just doesnt go together that well IMO so I ended up just going with machined chrome C6 rims. I still have black on them, they just happen to be on the inside of the rim instead of the on the spokes lol.
Gunmetal rims look good on NBM F-Bodies IMO tho.

Chrome or silver 10 spokes 
I kinda like the speedline ws6 wheels, if I didn't have the 10 spokes I'd probably buy a set of those. Oh, and chrome y2k c5 wheels look good too
I'd go chrome/polished on an nbm car.
Good luck
