Which Color to Powder Coat Wheels?

https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-interior-exterior-lighting/179149-opinions-on-my-plans.html

So with the good amount of positive response to my plans that I have, I just need to get some feedback on what color I should powder coat my wheels.

Here are my two options:
Dark Gunmetal - similar to the GTR's wheels
Black

Again, this will be on Platinum Graphite which will have all of Bat's overlays and a black front grille.

Bump for some more input!

I'm still really undecided. I'm leaning towards the Gunmetal more than the black, but I just keep thinking that the gunmetal might look funny with the platinum graphite. The shop that i'm going to take them to said that the darkest color they have next to black is their gunmetal which is 3 shades above black. My goal with the wheels are actually to get as close as I can to black without going black, and still have a glossy finish. What do you guys think?

I've never really considered a bronze. I think it only looks good on black or white. How dark is the bronze you're talking about? Any sample pics?

I've only gotten one quote, but it's from a shop that I've taken other wheels to before, so I trust them. They quoted me $95 per wheel which includes an extra layer of clear coat.
