Best WHEEL/RIM Color contrast

Guys need bit of help i am going powder coat my wheels but haven't been able make my mind up as to what is best match for my car i currently have a graphite shadow 2010 g37 sedan with 19 inch infiniti wheels and i am between going semi gloss black , full gloss black or gunmetal semi. What do you guy think is the best match to make the car stick out ? i was leaning towards semi gloss black. also want to make sure they are easy to wipe because i made huge mistake getting them matte black in past and they where a bitch to clean since its a rougher surface and not easy to just wipe smoothly

thank guys

If you want your wheels to "stick out", go with red, orange or yellow. Personally, I'm tired of black wheels.

I've seen a few cars (not Gs) w/ a similar body color, and maroon wheels, looked pretty nice I must say!
This color is pretty hot (candy apple red) IMO

So, you really wanted suggestions for a complementary color, not a contrasting color.

I was tired of my wheels being powder gloss black and wanted something different. So I spent some time going through colors on prismaticpowders.com and decided on Illusion Violet. They turned out amazing and pictures just don’t do the color justice! Go with something different, something nobody else in your area has done before!
