Painting rims

I have these rims below in silver right now, but curb damaged. I'm repainting them, the gunmetal version on my rims are the first pic. What's everyone think? Or i might go white.

they have to sand down the whole wheel, they can still do if it curb, if he aint busy he can finish it from 2-3 days,

That's why I wanted to get white LOL I'm all F**K, there's already a Gunmetal green civic. I just want something different than my silver, and i dont want to waste money and just get them redone the same color. I might go with like a glossy gunmetal or a cool hyperblack color. We'll see what they have. BTW, What's your LX? Auto or stick?

If you don't want gunmetal because of that, why not just get the next best color? A black near-glossy finish like on Andrews wheels?

EDIT: Don't get white. White would ruin the essence of the car's dark sparkling color when you can have the chance to have shiny black wheels, hehe. I just personally think white rims deserve to be on white cars.
