Powder coat color?

I have a 2k2 Titanium Metalic coupe. Currently I have a set of ADR M-sport wheels on my car and they are pretty scuffed up. I am going to have them powder coated. What color do you all think would look the best? I am thinking a light gunmetal with a polished lip. What do you all think... BTW I just borrowed this picture from members rides (this is not my car)

I would go with a hyper silver and a high gloss for that wet look.

Get them electropolished (I think you can EP aluminum) and clearcoated... That would probably look pretty sweet.

Otherwise polish the lip and get just the spokes an center coated... in otherwords, get them to polish between the spokes. Otherwise it'll look pretty obvious that they're 1 piece wheels. Do like a titanium color... not actually gunmetal. Just a darkish grey.

I meant more like this...

Where the space on the lip between the spokes was polished... but that works as well.

i'd say a dark grey to black color, darker than gunmetal. and polished lip, or powdercoat the whole thing. that or anodize them a black color, so they'd look like black chrome.

light gunmetal with polished lip.

if you had a silver car id say go with gunmetal or bronze, but bronze wont look good w/ your color.
